Crazy? Or Crazy Like A Fox? Insanity Pre-order for $1?

The developers of Indie title Afterfall:Insanity have launched a marketing ploy to draw attention to their game, which releases in the same month as the big AAA holiday titles.

The offer is as follows: Pre-order the game for just $1 and receive the full game plus the official soundtrack on the release date IF the number of orders reaches 10 million.

If they do not reach the magic 10 million they will donate all funds to charity and offer supporters the opportunity to purchase the game at one dollar less than the RRP.

Check out their Website at http://www.afterfall-universe.com/en/ for trailers and pre-order your copy before 24th November to qualify.I have to admit that this is a pretty clever way to try and compete with Skyrim and Modern Warfare. But if the game gets ten million pre-orders, I’ll eat my hat. (a fruit-based hat, just to be on the safe side) Still, this seems like a neat way to raise money for charity.

John Breeden II
As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
