This is a thing that's happening: Raven Software designer Manveer Heir has offered to pay for your copy of Wolfenstein if it outsells Electronic Arts' Madden NFL 10 in August. While the final sales will be determined by NPD numbers, Heir does point out that anyone can be reimbursed worldwide.
"Keep your receipt," he writes.
Let's face it -- this is a bit ridiculous. Even Heir himself says "it's not likely." As excited as we are for the game -- Wolfenstein looks like it's shaping up to be a solid shooter -- we don't expect it (or anything else for that matter) to outsell Madden NFL 10 in August. Or September. Possibly also October.

This is brilliant! Success is guaranteed!
And also, I can't believe he's actually serious. Bold move.

I still found it funny
This won't happen.
MURDER IS JUSTIFIED ON THESE PEOPLE.
I say let's all buy a copy on August 31, leave it sealed, and then return it in September just to show up EA.
Or we could just, y'know, keep it.
Even if you "organized" and bought out all copies.
Fun to think about though.
What a coincidence! I say the same thing about first person shooters!
Okay, you win. :D
On a side note I hope EA's MMA game blows hard purely out of spite. Even better would be if it was superior to UFC 09 but sold like a bag of shit simply because it didn't have official licensing.
