#32Played it for the first time at a Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. It's everything I had heard and it is offensive. It's also an absolute blast to play with the right people.

#33Isn't this either very border line or even illegal in the US (genuinely asking)? - I thought every contract between 2 parties required an exchange of something, so money can't be traded for nothing, but maybe I'm wrong. Edit: getting downvoted, not sure why, explanation would be helpful
If that's true, why is Kickstarter legal?

#34> Because the greatest Black Friday gift of all is buying nothing. We’re offering that for the rock-bottom price of $5. How can you afford NOT to seize this incredible opportunity? Great salesmanship.
It would be even better if they had it as $10 crossed out, 50% sale price: $5
Or $0 crossed out? Given that's the recommended retail price of nothing?

#35Cards against Humanity has great marketing team, but I'm still pretty sure people are buying in because they think there's a chance they're getting something still. There was that time recently that cards against humanity sold a box of literal bull shit, and then people were disappointed when they got just literal bull shit.
>If I give you $5, what are you going to do with the money?
That’s for us to know and you to find out. We’ll make the announcement soon.
This might be throwing people off. My guess is they are going to make some charitable donation.

#36is it possible that no one has paid anything and then they're just posting these numbers for attention?
Given how well Cards Against Humanity did in their last stupid sales like that (their first Black Friday was Everything Costs 5$ More!, on another occasion they sold shit, literally shit in a box) I think those numbers are 100% real.

The Nothing was a great enemy to Atreyu.

#38Nice. If they're smart, they'll donate it all to Oxfam. That, or post InstaPix of spending it on hookers and blow.
Readin the headline I kind of expected that it would be going to a worthwhile cause, but no. Wow some people are stupid.
> I kind of expected that it would be going to a worthwhile cause
They do have posted:
> If I give you $5, what are you going to do with the money?
> That’s for us to know and you to find out. We’ll make the announcement soon.
So it may yet be. And it may not.

#39Earlier quoted context omitted.
IANAL but I don't see how it could be illegal. There's no misrepresentation. Both the "buyer" and the "seller" know what is going on and agree.
Give an illegal action A, a seller could sell a service that does A. If you buy A, it doesn't make it legal just because both you and the seller know what is going on and agree.

They definitely are selling off of their fame (or notoriety) here. I could go out to the main street today and say "Hi all! I'm selling nothing for $5!" and I'd get nothing because I'm not Cards Against Humanity.
They must be living the Millenialist dream, get money for literally (not figuratively at all) doing nothing but asking for it.
