In Response To: Re: HBO/Bungie charity auction *sOT* (Forrest of B.org)

: Well, Gnop was compiled and playable as a game. I think the binary was just
: distributed freeware on the internet with the code for sale, but you could
: put it on a CD or something if you wanted.

: That is a good question though... was Gnop! ever sold on physical media? Or,
: when you buy the code, did it come with a compiled version too? And in
: what kind of packaging? DID anybody ever buy the Gnopcode from Alex?

: -Fobo should found some ascetic order of Bungieites called the Gnoptics or
: something.

The Bungie.net history page says that "a couple" of people took up the offer of the complete Gnop! code for $15. I have no idea whether Frankie meant "couple" as literally two, or whether nobody actually knows how many people bought it (after all, by the time Frankie wrote that, Alex was back in Chicago). The point is that someone paid for the code.
