Pay What You Want For World Of Goo
World of Goo is now officially a one year old, and to celebrate the developers at 2D Boy are letting potential buyers choose their own price tag for the game. If you haven’t heard of it before now, World of Goo is a physics based puzzle game that tasks players with linking together goo balls into a variety of different structures to reach your goal. It’s also probably my favorite downloadable title to date, and a great example of how small independent developers still have an important role to play in our industry. Plus, unlike most games, you shouldn’t have a problem getting it to run on your PC – and they even have Mac and Linux versions too!
You can buy the game directly from 2D Boy’s website, which seems to be having some intermittent problems today – so if you’re trying to take advantage of this amazing deal, don’t give up. Just don’t make it too much of an amazing deal... game developers have to eat too. Which brings up an interesting question; the game normally sells for $20, but you can theoretically buy it for as little as a penny. So, how much do you think World of Goo is worth? Let us know what you’re willing to pay in the comments section below!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
