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.

Today, John is an award-winning journalist with more than 25 years of experience.
