Portal 2: 5 Down, 8 to Go

[Apr 17, 2011, 1:39 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

According to GLaDOS@Home, computations are now also complete for Cogs, Rush, and AaAaA, so the contributions of five of the 13 games in the potato sack towards an early release of Portal 2 are now done. As Dr. Rumack once (or twice) said: "We're all counting on you."

Unfortunately I agree that this is just a marketing gimmick. If this was a serious gesture then there would be the possibility to unlock the game several days or a week early, not just a few hours. This promotion is designed purely to increase exposure of the game and to generate sales for the Potato Sack, not to benefit end users.

Still, even if it's a few hours early that's not a bad thing and it gets the community behind the game. You can't really complain about this.
