2DBoy the makers of World of Goo are celebrating the first birthday of the game by giving it away for whatever you want to pay.

You can donate from as little as $0.01 :onethumb

Good for anyone who doesn't have this game yet (like myself) :)

Note: Their servers are being completely hammered. You may wanna wait a bit :lol:

Radiohead did this with an album and I believe the average payment was $5... $5 isn't too cheapskate-ish I guess, but when you consider as many were under $5 as above... well... some people don't see the worth of the product I guess.

I paid $8, for the record.

I own World of Goo on Steam and I would say $10 is the right price for it, myself.

Although I think they might actually lose money at that price point due to processing fees.

I applaud 2DBoy for stepping out of the "norm" of business. We need more of this in the marketplace (and in other industries as well). I wasn't tempted @ $20, and puzzle-style games just aren't my thing, but I will probably chuck a few dollars their way just to show my support.

With the advent of donation systems and alternate payment schemes in the Internet age I find myself in the position of not being able to pay as much as I want to certain recipients simply because there are so many things I want to patronize and I have to stretch the dollars. I suppose that's a good problem, in a way.

-edit-
Run-on sentence FTW!

There are zillions of games out there which are actually free, and I'm sure the vast majority of their developers wouldn't mind one bit if you threw a few bucks their way.
