That deal sucks.

The wait between announcement to release is usually not even that long, and you just play the tons of other great games that are out now in the mean time.

Even if the wish has to be videogame related I'd want it to be a way more significant than that.

The idea that God would make a deal about a video game is super depressing.

This is some bizarre shit. Are you doped up OP?

Who the fuck would give up a kidney to play a game early? And what kind of God would be making that sort of offer?

Gamefaqs is spilling over.

I don't believe in god but if he/she came to me somehow I certainly would not ask for anything video game related. How about eternal life for you and your loved ones?

I think you have no idea how horrible games in development stages are.

Plus you can't guarantee your kid won't need a kidney some day or that your remaining one won't fail you.

Can just wait.

I can wait some time to play videogames and cancelled stuff will be obviously incomplete, so i wouldn't care.

Also i like the idea of having a second kidney if the first one fails. It's pretty neat design, tho it's stupid how there isn't two of everything else.

I am going to check with the devil, he will probably make me a better offer. He owns the souls of most publisher executives so he would probably let me choose what games and consoles are released. Your god is very anti consumer.

Something you all seem to not be considering is that he would give you all games not only in its finished form months and years before actual release, but also FOR FREE.

This is a good deal after all, because you won't have to spend money on games anymore. Also, you're still allowed to write about the games. I'm pretty sure you could make a pretty good buck from reviews and details coming out months before the game comes out.

You could buy a new kidney with that money, if you needed one.

I'll do it, God! Let's make this happen!

This could have been accomplished with a genie or a wizard. "Same thing bro, hurdur!".

Anyway, that deal is trash.

If Alanis Morissette came and made such an offer, well, I'd like to think that Alan Rickman would accompany her to speak as I would like to keep my head.

But no, I'm sure I'll need my kidneys to process stuff in my body and unless it was a close family member, I would prefer to keep mine. There is no game that takes priority over that.

And just in a what-if situation, I've always wondered what Super Mario 64-2 would have been.

I already made a pact with God (Sacraments) but following the OP, I wouldn't give my kidneys, I rather have a healthy life. Also, I probably wouldn't have enough time to play those games, anyway.

Hmm, early access to videogames vs. putting my life at risk. Call me crazy, but I'm going to keep my kidney.

The logical answer here is that you don't give up kidneys ergo you live longer and can wait for the actual releases and play more games throughout for lifetime. Upon your death bed you can then give up a kidney to then play any games you think you might be dead before release... am i right?

I might do this, maybe. This is essentially time traveling and you could make a lot of money from this while gaining back a kidney. But with no consequences.. seems kind of strange/too good to be true.

Truth be told, I can wait for games. Just trying to finish my backlog

I'd do it if I could play the Witcher 3 pre downgrade.

10-15 years from now CD Projekt games will make the original Witcher 3 look like trash. Not worth it.

No deal

Even if God did exist I'd never do such a petty trade. I'd rather save my bargain chip till I can use it to help someone else. e.g seriously sick family member or similar.
