      Indigo, come on. This story sounds like something that a kid would dream up. "When I have a million dollars, I'm going to buy all my friends video games so we can just play them all day." It doesn't even make sense. Of the 100 people that go into Bob's Computer Repair, how many of them have ever or would ever play an action RPG? But you just decided to hang out there and give away copies of this game at some store, neither of which you have any affiliation with?
      
      And how much did this cost? There have been numerous people asking for that simple piece of information and you haven't revealed it. At $19.95, you paid over $2000 for copies of this game to give away? I thought you were a struggling writer with a family to support who couldn't afford shit?
