Afterfall aiming for... 10 million preorders?

Look, Ma! Two Heads!
Afterfall InSanity pre-order is being offered for $1. If they reach 10 million preorders, the full price of the game will stay at $1, and they will send the earnings to charity.

Uhhh.. Okay. This is a very big "If", and given their track record this is almost as absurd as your common Nigerian prince scam. To clarify: If they don't hit their 10 million mark (yeah okay), those $1 preorders will still go to charity, but you will have to pay the full price for the game itself.... at a $1 discount, if you pre-ordered.

You can see the pre-order count in their website: http://www.afterfall-universe.com
 
Afterfall... why is that title so familiar?

The charity wouldn't happen to be the Human Fund would it?
 
I'd be surprised, if they reach 100k pre-orders.
 
This game used to look promising ages ago, sad to see they dropped all their original (and overambitious) ideas and made a generic third person shooter.

Hah! I am not even sure if there are 10 million people who know what Afterfall is.

But there will be a ton more after the campaign due to this, which is the point.

You really think that that counter is actual pre-orders and not those guys typing the numbers in to show that people are supposedly pre-ordering in thousands? There are may be more pre-orders because of this but not a ton more, unless they somehow tapped into a massive retard forum somewhere.

Good lord! That looks even lamer than that Afterfall: Insanity video I saw a couple of months ago.

Burn it...WITH FIRE! :mrgreen:
 
They do so, because it's still offered.
 
I don't think even Oblivion sold more than 10 million. I wonder why these guys didn't announce this thing as some sort of april fools joke or something. It would have gathred more attention that way.

But it does provide a possible explanation for why there's anyone at all pledging their single dollar.

I doubt that over 15 thousand people actually did though, for such an unknown project and developer. These guys are full of shit.

It was front page news on a lot of gaming sites.

I can imagine a bunch of people going 'Cool, I could get this for a dollar!' and running with it.

These guys are full of shit.

Oh, most definitely.
 
Yea, it's a clever marketing idea, but come on, ten million? I could see that being challenging even for more popular gaming series.

Unless every person who preorders it, preorders ten copies.
