I’m amazed at how cheap this is. How is this possible for what I’m assuming is a relatively low-volume physical product? I don’t suppose it’s produced on-demand, but also Carson Gross probably doesn’t have 1000 of these boxes at his home, or I would have seen the pics on twitter.

we are selling it pretty cheap we got 1000 made and gave 150 away to Big Sky Dev Conf attendees

Not trying to make money on it, it’s for the lols

Why not both?

idk just seems like $25 is a good price for a fun game you know?

That’s my doing. I already had a pipeline of contacts for manufacturing GameBoy games at various levels of quality and cost. Being involved from the beginning, I was able to influence development to ensure we could produce the lowest cost product that met the quality levels needed to blow up everyone’s collective minds.
