Awesome Idea: Aeria’s Fun or Refund promotion

This is the way game companies should do business. Aeria Games & Entertainment, Inc., has launched a month-long promotion (April 2009) that guarantees gamers will enjoy their games or get a refund.

The company’s press release goes a bit further than just guaranteeing “fun,” but states a refund will be issued “if players do not have the most fun they possibly can.”

Yep, if you don’t have fun – a completely subjective state of being – while playing an Aeria game, you get your money back. The catch is that the refund will be of Aeria Points, the currency used to purchase in-game items at Item Malls including avatar outfits, pet and items that help leveling.
