• ... that Kamibox's A Joke That's Worth $0.99 is permanently on sale due to Itch.io not allowing $0.99 as a price? Source: https://itch.io/s/69831/joke-to-make-it-cost-099-sale
  • ALT1: ... that since Itch.io doesn't allow games to cost $0.99, Kamibox's A Joke That's Worth $0.99 is permanently on sale for 1% off to circumvent the restriction? Source: https://itch.io/s/69831/joke-to-make-it-cost-099-sale
  • ALT2: ... that Kamibox's Apple Design Award winning Song of Bloom uses the entire IPhone as a controller, including charging ports and volume buttons? Source: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/disciplines/road-to-the-igf-kamibox-s-i-song-of-bloom-i https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=q9fq8jkq

Overall: Article is new enough (moved from draftspace 17 Dec) and long enough (RPS is 2290). Hook fact is interesting (I prefer ALT0 best, then ALT1) and included in article with source. QPQ is not needed as nom has 0 DYK credits. No problems with Earwig so we are good to go. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:31, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

• @Schminnte and PCN02WPS: the first couple times i read ALT0 and ALT1, I assumed that the price was 1% off of $0.99, meaning it's $0.9801 (weird, because 99²=9,801...). How about:
• ALT3: ... that Kamibox's A Joke That's Worth $0.99 is priced at $1, but is permanently sold at a 1% discount?
• I like it because readers can work out for themselves that it comes out to $0.99, and they're tempted to click through to figure out why it has to be that way. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 10:14, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
• @Theleekycauldron:, I do prefer ALT 0, I feel ALT 3 might be a bit too vague. I don't really know why, maybe because ALT 0 is a bit simpler? Schminnte (talk • contribs) 12:25, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
