Dumann: I noticed the word 'Keane' being used a lot for slow selling games. Was Jack Keane the game that lasted for ages during the last insomnia sale? Would love to hear the full story on that one!
Pidgeot: Yes, that was Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within.
Not much to say other than what you know - it took forever to sell, and became a meme as a result.
That, of course, was the reason they trolled us with 18000 fake copies at the end of round 1 - fortunately that wasn't real, and it quickly went away for the start of round 2 :)
Well ehm, I didn't know that this happened last year as I was too late to join that one. But my friend who sits next to me through the whole insomnia sale actually bought Jack Keane 2: The fire Within before the were "sold out".
And he actually has a key and all. So my guess would be, yes it was a joke, they probably put a random big number in the end and let it count down fast. But if you were fast enough, you actually got a key. :P
