    He obviously wants to tell Bill Gates something.

    Can't say I saw this coming, but somehow I'm not that surprised...

    Wouldn't be surprised if in the end it got purchased just so the winner wouldn't share the secret.

    Although I know it won't happen, I hope against hope that nobody purchases it.

    Very interesting. I wonder if anybody will buy it, I think somebody will.

    i thought there was a limit on how big a single IAP could be, or I was mistaken? [if there isn't, there should be, imaging accidently buying a $77k IAP :eek:]

    Very handy, in my opinion, that this (and the subsequent) experiment will just happen to net them a whole lot of money.

    IAP on the App Store is limited to $999.99, so either this isn't going to be a iOS game, or it's more Peter Molyneux marketing BS. (probably both)

    This is very reminiscent of Tad Williams Otherland series, although the "message" there drops you into a virtual world.
