Starbound Developer Gives Spiffing Brit Reward for Increased Sales
Not really, but I feel like they should. Starbound has become a top seller. Hopefully people actually play the game and didn't buy it only for the "exploit." Gotta love the power of satire and the confused masses.

I really think they should honour him! Maybe name a soda brand in the game after him. :)

Spiffy must've hit the roof when he saw those viewing figures.

Possibly the most amusing thing about this whole amusing series of events, this.

Seriously. I've been enthralled with the forums. The rage, the frustration, the tears. It's so addicting to watch unfold.

I had a good chuckle.

The fact that people took a vid - that's part of a comedy series - so seriously they actually made a whole mod from scratch to "Exploit!" it...is bloody brillant.

Yeah, the best entertainment this event has been the forum. The drama! The heartbreak! The betrayal! Pinter is envious.

When that guy yesterday complained he couldn't use his discount on another site? I knew Id found the ultimate gateway to the inner workings of the human mind.

I don't understand why would anyone buy Starbound for that exact purpose. One could run for 30 min any game with many achievements unlocked in the past, which would give like 10k points pool.

90% of the people have no idea how this event works and only watched the first 3 min of the video that stated "buy game, install mod, infinite points for dirt!"

People were very confused about the whole Max Points Cap thing. They believed it would be an easy way to get an infinite amount of tokens to trade in for an unlimited amount of $5 discounts. They actually thought Valve would leave a backdoor that wide just open.

Now loads of people own a game they didn't really want, a truckload of fake soda and no discount.

I finally bloody started playing the game earlier this week.

Now profile checkers are gonna think I’m stupidly exploit-hunting! :rufusjoking:

I only had three (three!) soda!

I can’t even burn off nearly all the achievement-points I’ve on offer.

That's rough buddy.

Actually, this sale did remind me I hadn't played Starbound in ages, so I also reinstalled it.

Yay! Something good is coming from all of this! Gamers playing games!

I saw that TF2 was doing quests and I hadn't played that in a hot minute, so I ended up reinstalling that myself. I was surprised to see how many people were playing.

People can say what they want about this sale, but I've been enjoying it despite all the weirdness. Especially considering I'm Team Oinker! :summer2019logopig::summer2019pig:

I'm weird....enjoying it as well. I also loaded up Stardew Valley which I haven't played since it launched.

Also, I got to be part of a terrible drinking game, met some cool new steam people and got to support my tortoise boys in green. Not a bad way to spend a sale.
i got vampire masqurade bloodlines 2 out of it
This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
