Breath Of Death VII is, by at least one Kotaku reader account, the best role-playing game of the year. It costs $1 and, as of last week, sold 30,000 copies. How?

It costs a buck, but everyone who has written about it and played it (this reporter canât count himself among the latter yet), says theyâd have paid much more.
Amid Boydâs frank analysis of what went right and wrong is the astounding report that two thirds of the people who downloaded the game for free then ponied up the asking price. Impressive.
