Out of interest..

If a new box office focused game was launched on the hsx model or another, which required an entry fee but offered chance to win decent prizes, would many people be interested? 

Out of interest.. Somerset Jul 01, 22:30

Before anyone gets upset by that question... Somerset Jul 01, 22:36

yeah, i probably would depending on the price...I mean I do play a Summer movie game and that costs to get in... {nm} Apokalips Jul 01, 22:37

what game is that - not sure I have come across it? {nm} Somerset Jul 01, 22:38

Just some game where people (most of whom are in the movie biz) try to predict the top 10 summer movies in order Apokalips Jul 01, 22:46

Yeah, I considered saying that seemed inappropriate, as HSX was still around. But if it was HSX, like it is now, yeah, I'd consider it. {nm} Facto Jul 01, 22:47

I'm having technical issues on my PC, somehow the IM did not get carried through. Facto Jul 01, 23:06

I can understand your sentiments, and certainly agree in the short term but... Somerset Jul 01, 23:15

I wonder if this would be better to discuss over on the players board.. ? Facto Jul 01, 23:32

Good idea - will re-post there. Good night! It's 2:30pm here, so I have hours left in me... {nm} Somerset Jul 01, 23:33

The business models for that would closely follow the fantasy sports pay games APRedona Jul 01, 23:11

it's funny you mention this model, as this is what got me asking the question myself... {nm} Somerset Jul 01, 23:18

Nope. considering I don't have a lot of money to throw around I wouldn't be interested {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 02, 03:42

With forum boards? YES Without the boards I can play the derby on BOM. Same format I would pay {nm} damenchipguy Jul 01, 22:48

I don't see HSX closing - Cantor will probably maintain it with a view to selling it on.... TheJman Jul 02, 02:26

Here's a free game that a few hundred people play, and it's been around for close to a decade yesum Jul 02, 07:57
