Monday: concept
Tuesday: launching
Thursday: sold 5,215 pounds ($7,800)

The guy who did it?
Alex Tew (the same guy who did milliondollarhomepage.com, the one pixel for one dollar concept)

Wow!

Technical aspects of that site are super-poor but the idea is awesome.

smart idea

Do you think he could have got more money if he waited a little longer?

Not sure.
I guess he could have been beaten by the competition with some better game if he had waited too long.
Plus it's very linked to the news: in two weeks nobody will play that game anymore.
It's a buzz thing.

rich fulcker

really a nice game

Its Alex again?

Site is interesting btw.

the buzz will be over soon is why he sold so quickly i'd guess
