2D Boy Posts "Pay-What-You-Want" Final Wrap-up 12
sleeponthemic writes "Developer 2D Boy has posted the final results of their 'pay-what-you-want' experiment, selling their World of Goo game for an unrestricted price. After coming to the attention of Slashdot, a further ~26,000 sales were recorded, bringing the total to 83,147. Note that publicizing crucial mid-sale statistics — such as the revelation that ~17,000 people chose to 'donate' $0.01 — seems to have affected the average donation, which increased from $2.03 to above $3 by the end of the week."
They also show some interesting charts which break down the average donation by operating system, saying "We were expecting the average price paid to be highest for Linux users and lowest for Windows users, but the gap was larger than we thought it would be."

I paid $15 for the same game on Steam so I guess I supported that distribution and payment model even more.

Yeah, down with 2DBoy and their big video game company. I heard from slashdot that they were looking to buy 2K games. Screw them. Take em down.
