Thought I'd repost this in case anyone hadn't seen it before.

I wonder if he recoup'd his investment yet...

Clicky

    I believe I read recently that someone investigated this story and the guy who bought it actually works for the company who sold it...  So it's just marketing to make you think, golly gee that game must be cool.  Er no.

    He recouped in less then 6 months and have doubled his cash within a year, fairly ok investment I would say.

    Now the story do not say wether or not he has puilled out all that cash from PE yet or not, judging from others that can be quite hard..

    Care to link where you saw this or is it something you " heard " IMO the guy works for mindark and this is a BS story.

    It has been verified quite thoroughly and it is true, it is also a fact his investment did pay off big time in PED's, what i have never actually heard of though if he actually did try cashing in or not and if he did what happened.

    Verified by who ? I've seen it posted a few times but I've never seen anyone post anything reliable that says he didn't work for the company and actually made any money.

    I just downloaded and tried to play this game tonight. The graphics are actually kinda decent with 4x AA turned on, but the sad part about it is there's no way to change your screen resolution! I have a nice monitor which tells me when it is displeased that the game I'm playing isn't at 1280x1024 resolution.

    I wanted to play this game because it's just very intriguing, but what kind of game doesn't have a resolution option??

    Yes you can. There is just no sub-forum for it. It's on the Game List.

    First time I have heard of Project Entropia was when I clicked the clicky in the OP post.

    I've always thought this to be a rather obvious publicity scam.

    The bloke who did this also went to considerable trouble to fax his story through to every newspaper, magasine, radio and T.V. station in the Western world.
