But wait wait… do I see it coming, or is it like a Russian roulette kind of deal?

Thats a win-win Situation, why wouldn’t I push it?

MedicPigBabySaver,

Push. I’m satisfied with life enough to leave if necessary. And who cares if it’s a “gruesome” death. I won’t remember.

Considering the extreme risk involved despite the low odds, I would not.
It is tempting and the odds of hitting that 1% on the first press are low, so the chance of a payoff is very good, but on the other hand, you won’t get any money if you hit that 1% first try, so even leaving money for loved ones is out of the question there.

frezik,

Long time Xcom player here, back to the original series.

No.

Xanis,

First time I experienced this exact sentiment was years ago playing Dynasty Tactics.

99% chance to hit?

Realize devs forgot to include the decimal. 90.1% chance of exploding.

Nom,

I was about to comment about Fire Emblem but yes Xcom is the superior example.

AngryCommieKender,

If you haven’t run across it, UFO:AI is an open source “re-release” of X-COM Apocalypse

unfnknblvbl,

Sounds like I’d be happy either way, sooo

RandomVideos,

You can press it 69 times and still have a 50% chance of living

volvoxvsmarla,

How does that work mathematically?

sunbather,

(99/100)⁶⁹≈0.5=50%

umfk,

0.99**69 = 0.4998

Catpurple,

Hmm, I’m a little surprised at how consistent the responses are, but I guess I shouldn’t be. I just know that if I did that spam until death and pass it all on to family thing that others here are about, well I wouldn’t trust my family to adequately handle big money after my death; they’d fuck it up, the greedy shitty ones would try and steal the will, keep some other family members from getting any; just anything to not just do what I wanted, and I wouldn’t be there to deal with it.

But regardless, since I found out I was trans, 1% death chance is too big for me. I want to live and experience my life approximately closer to how it always should have been, even though I lost a couple decades getting there. Hell, just the million dollars, even if we say it’s somehow still taxed and the fed takes a bunch, could resolve all my debts, pay for all my trans surgeries, and I’d still have more to help my family without them just fucking it all up. But I still wouldn’t want to risk the death for that.

ZILtoid1991,

Considering real life, it’s a pretty good deal. Real jobs have a way-higher guresome death chance to 1 million dollar ratio, and most of the time you just end up in a dead-end job.

Wilzax,

Press once, if I live get my will in order for the situation, then press until I die.

friendly_ghost,

Already dying a gruesome death tho, ain’t I. Million bucks sounds handy

Your odds of dying are worse if you earn the million through work.

sag,

Yes, It have 1% Chance to fix my all problems.
