there isn't much going on here at the moment. Red Layer.
He could've just said they came from another planet but seems keen to convince people with his bullshit pseudoscience that he knows stuff. I wouldn't trust him with my lunch. - SG
It continues until there's only one player left, who - upon asking what he's won - is met by the fiendish Molly's reply: 'Everlasting infamy as That Curiosity Guy.'
A games writer trying to make his or her name then requests an interview with Molly to forward the sorry outing as a social experiment.
I reckon there's more to it than a "social experiment" and, from 22 Cans' perspective is worthwhile. They'll be collecting all sorts of data they can use to inform decisions on future products, as well building tools and experience for running things with a shit-load of users.
I don't see why people are so down on it, it's not like anyone's being forced to use it and there are far more cynical examples of similar "games" out there.
I'm down on it because I just don't see why. I've never played it, don't even own a device capable of playing it. But from what I've seen, I can't see the point.
There is little to no point for the players, that's part of the reason for it existing. Pretty sure they explicitly stated that when they announced the thing.
From the outset to me it always felt like a server load stress assessment 'game' for the network team to digest and report on.Â
The fact that Molyneux sold it with a lll the Highlander Quickening vide was the smart part really. If nothing else I reckon the collected data on server scaling, management and attachment rates would have a monetary value if 22 Cans goes under…
I still drop in from time to time to have a quick tap. Like reading a Dailymail/Sun front page it is blind mindless rubbish on so many levels but every now and then that's kind of what I feel like with a cuppa coffee. I expect the end to be underwhelming… Modern Molyneux and all that.
You know what would be really great? If the last cube revealed some kind of complex code or virus which rendered the user's handset useless. Or perhaps added them to the sex offenders register
I love the way hundreds of thousands of people would be watching and it's a shit green screen with a script he couldn't be arsed to rehearse. Or have more than one take at. Unless that was the best take.
If he follows through on his promise (no laughing!) then it's a really nice idea and it'll be intriguing to see how it plays out. Hopefully they'll actually give some genuine game altering powers to the winner.

Molyneux fucked by Ligers.
Of course it will be shit. It's a god game where nobody else gets to have any fun. Who the fuck wants simulated subservience? I don't see people buying into an experience this imbalanced.
