Buy World of Goo for the price you want to pay

[Maikel Steneker]

To celebrate the birthday of World of Goo, the well-received DRM free indie game that was launched for PC and WiiWare last year, 2D Boy has made it possible to buy their game at any price.

After paying a minimum of $0,01 via PayPal or credit card, the game will be downloadable for Windows, Mac and Linux (in .deb, .rpm and .tar.gz format).

I loved this game. I have the Wii version, and will probably still hop all over this deal. It's an awesome and simple game.

You know buying the game for 1 cent wasn't their intention. It was to "buy the game at a price you find reasonable" because more then half the total player base pirated it.

Saw this last week on Kotaku, shame i already bought it a few months back.

Of course I do. But I think it's a really brave concept, because a lot of people will pay only 1 cent.

I know I didn't. 20 dollars was too much for a game that I didn't really like that much. I like the concept of a DRM free multiplatform game, but it didn't appeal to me. This has convinced me to buy it multiple times (I got it for a few of my friends as well) for low but profitable prices.

Wow, that is a great deal. Now if the would only make it available on DSi ware.

 

[Forstride]

Just bought it for 10 cents. Best deal EVAR!

Well I still feel warm and fuzzy that I bought the WiiWare version. I didn't pay anything as I converted star points but I hope the folks at 2D Boy made a good profit off the title as they deserve it.

I do fancy having this for the PC when the Mrs is using the TV for crap but I cant access the site right now.

As for DSiWare they did say they weren't going to a while back but they have just announced a iPhone port so it could be possible perhaps.

Great find! Picked up a copy for $5. I love the "pay what you want" price model. Yes, I could have paid less (or more), but, if it turns out well for them, maybe more companies will do this as well.

£17 on Steam, or $5? I think I know what I'll pay.

 

[Minox]

Seeing as I've already paid for it on Steam I went ahead and got another copy for $0.01

 

[purplesludge]

Just bought it for a dollar.

Something tells me it'll cost them more to process $0.01 transactions. Still a nice idea to generate more sales.

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

Just bought it for $5. Seems like I'm one of the few people who'll still pay a reasonable price.

 

[da_head]

eh fuck it, i'll just pirate it.

 

[madtamski]

Site must be getting hammered as I can't seem to access it either.

 

[Kamiyama]

2 dollars here. I though buy it for 5 dollars, but that was my all Paypal money.

I wonder if 2D Boy is giving human nature too much credit.

Or not enough, at that.

They're probably going to name and shame all the people who paid low amounts (

Maybe if they just released it on the Xbox Live Arcade less people would pirate it and it would have better sales.
