Square Enix Entices 'Just Cause 3' Fans by Giving Away an Island
What could be more enticing than owning a real-life island after playing your favorite video game?
According to IGN, Square Enix recently launched a contest that will assure the winner of a real-life island. The rules of the contest require the winner to be the top earner of Chaos Points, and this points will be determined 90 days after the initial release of the video game "Just Cause 3." The sole winner will have a chance to claim the grand prize, which is a real-life island that is said to cost at a whopping $50,000. In the event that the winner finds the grand prize insignificant for his own use (i.e., the island is inhabitable), it can also be converted to cash for the same amount that the island is valued.
In order to earn points, according to VG 24/7, a player must deal with the scrimmage and survive the mayhem to collect weapon and transport utilities that will add up to the points collected. The acquired auxiliaries and the manner of which they were acquired will determine the number of points earned. The harder the challenge, the more points you get.
The contest titled, "The Just Cause 3 Win an Island Competition," kicks off after its debut on Dec. 1, 2015 and will run until Feb. 29, 2016. The 90-day duration will be the basis of collected Chaos Points, and the winner will be announced after that.
Included in the mechanics of the game is how players will acquire the code to join the contest. Pre-ordering the Day 1 edition of "Just Cause 3" for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will entitle you to enter the contest.
The competition, however, is only valid for players who reside in the regions of North and South America. It also requires you to have an active Square Enix account to be eligible.
According to DigitalTrends, there are no clear details about the island, its location and the exact size of the place. While there have been no videos of the actual island, its equivalent prize money, which is $50,000, is very much available and can be claimed by the winner in case the island is not habitable.
VG 24/7 also notes that taxes are not included on the grand prize. Any tax responsibilities will be shouldered by the winner, and the sponsor of the prize does not guarantee that the island is indeed habitable and can be reached by several transport means.
