TheMacPak: 11 Apps for $30 (today)

What they hey I liked Macheist and I imagine most people did not crack the puzzles themselves but relied on the forums for the answers. I di not like all the software from Macheist but paid up to get the one's I did. People pony up money for Woot! mystery bags of crap why not this?

These things are so freakin' lame. If the programs were worth what they're charging, they could just tell you what they were and quadruple their sales. I hate these mind games.

No thanks. I thought MacHeist was lame. I'm not going to bother with gimmicks like this.

Just a thought - but I'd guess that the delay is for several reason:

• what is the turn around on PayPal to the receiver? and onto the respective developers?
• also to prevent people from knowing the applications ahead of time TheMacPak would have to setup a staggered sending of registrations to each developer to generate the serial numbers...

Maybe these sorts of things could add up to 6 weeks... too bad my Pangea Arcade trial has expired!

Well rather than guess whether or not it legit - I emailed the only developer disclosed so far ie. Pangea

Brian Greenstone (President & CEO, Pangea Software, Inc. ) and he confirms that Pangea are involved with a succinct "Yep :)"

Given Brian's long history of neat products and the fact that I was going to buy Arcade anyway seem like a viable off - even with the glitches of a premature website release.

cheers

No thanks. You'll tell me what I'm getting after I pay for it?

just wanted to add that I agree with what DeMarko said about MacHeist :) i loved it


not what was said about PayPal though, i like it

"no MacHeist dupes"

errrrm, wrong

I got Pangea Arcade from MacHeist.

oh, and Otto Matic came with my iMac

i'm tired of this gimmicky/shady sales tactic. basically send us some money, and we'll send you back whatever we feel like whenever we feel like it. pfft.

wow, now I see why there wasn't a lot of hype for this. the website looks pretty bad, not to mention, freakin' shady too.
For one, this is a big step down from Macheist IMHO. Macheist wasn't just profitable, it was also A LOT of fun. I don't think I can emphasize how much fun it was without causing some sort of integer overflow. In any case, Macheist also had a very cool looking website which was a joy to use for every heist.
And as for spending money, PayPal? I don't know about you, but I've never been big on PayPal. It's bad enough we have no clue what the apps are, and don't get me wrong, they could be great, but I'm not one to spend $30 on something I don't know or will not get for a few weeks still (unless it's a subscription to Wired, which is amazing). Macheist emailed me my serials almost instantly considering the volume of requests they had, and also...good cause.

Oh, and, is it really that hard to hire a graphic designer? Really? I call shaaaaady
