Right, if you want to get anal about it. Here's the raw data :

http://www.surveymonkey.com/sr.aspx?sm=MZpIFVRQn99e_2fJukiNVWR9Rm3Xg1MSQ85QQk09BNH3s_3d

The highest percentage, 27.8%, paid between $ 5 and $ 10.
Next highest was $1 to $2 at 21.7%
30% paid other varying amounts over $2.

7% paid less than a dollar, and

14$ paid a few cents (probably 1 cent).

So in total 57% paid over $2 for the game, and a further 21.7% $1-2.

How on earth do you get "most people paid $.01" from that?

That was the raw data from a survey presented to those buying the game.

The raw data of the actual sales is on this post

Everyone who paid 0.01 actually paid 1.51 because of paypal fees, mwaha.

I don't, I got it from the actual sales data that 2DBoy presented of the 57,000 people who bought it, rather than the survey of the 2,700 (edit - 3,500 now I just looked again) who could be bothered to fill it in.

As is linked above, the highest values paid were $0.01 and $1.00-$1.99

Would you like to get any more anal than that?

Despicable that people would pay 1 cent. Always some who want something for nothing.

Or in other words, those who paid $1 or more felt the need to shout about it more than those that paid less.

You could equally conclude that those who only paid a cent were too ashamed or embarrassed to explain why they chose to do so

Indeed.

Okay, file me under 'simply didn't get much fun out of this beautifully-presented game'.

Played: two-thirds of chapter 1, then hit the 'Sod it, this is joyless' button. Fisty's Bog can **** off.

Paid: $6. Probably just about worth it for the gorgeous music and lovely visual style.

I paid $8 for it. I pass wind in the general direction of the $0.01 cheapskates in this thread.

I paid 0.01 for it and to be honest am bored after 5 minutes so glad I didnt pay anymore.
