6 Dumbest Ways Video Game Publishers Tried To Get Your Money

1. Dying Light's 'My Apocalypse' Special Edition

2015's Dying Light was a lot of fun, but when it comes to overly-zealous special editions, the 'My Apocalypse' edition is king.

So what do you get in this limited edition bundle? A severed arm on a plinth? A toy zombie with a string you can pull to make it groan? Nothing of the sort.

You got a house.

Setting you back a whopping £250,000, unlike Mass Effect: Andromeda's remote control tat coming with approximately zero copies of the game, this one comes with four, all steelbooks, all signed, all for Xbox One. It also included two Razer Tiamat headsets, parkour lessons, your face on a zombie in the game, a trip to Techland studios, a life-size zombie statue, night vision goggles, and adult diapers.

That's not even the weirdest part. You get a house. A zombie-proof shelter to be more specific. Truly ridiculous. The best/worst thing is that it's still available.

No-one has been stupid enough to buy the quarter-mil tin can yet, but you won't be stupid when the apocalypse happens will you? You'll have an entire shelter ready to go, and some nappies to boot.
