Shush you. Free stuff!

You do realize it's just the game right? You still have to buy a PS4 if you want to play it you Sony hater.

You get the PS4 when you donate your Kidney.

It seems I worded my sentence wrong. I didn't mean to say they shouldn't donate blood. I meant to say their reasons shouldn't be because a free game is being offered.

Helping people because you want to is such a nice feeling. Makes you feel all cuddly inside.

It is very nice to help people, absolutely, I always wish I could've done more plateletpheresis, but it's a much, much, much longer process than giving blood (hours), and it's hard to be able to set aside that kind of time esp. w/ work.



I absolutely LOVE this story. It's really cool when this escapist hobby we all love can effect some real-world positive change.

Great move by PlayStation Denmark and GivBlod :)

All this does is subsidize the costs of helping people. Whether those costs be a moderate fear of needles or a lack of time. I would love to give blood, especially since I have the "universal donor" (O-) blood type , but I've tried giving plasma before and didn't even make it to the machine because I almost fainted from a pinprick combined with a blood pressure test. Giving blood would probably be easier of course, but such an experience shows I have a lot of work to do if I wanted to.  If there were bigger incentives maybe I'd put more time and effort into getting over my discomfort. People like to help others, but there are various personal costs (both opportunity and explicit costs) involved to do these things, and sometimes they exceed the perceived benefit that the other person gains. If one gets a personal reward out of it, they are going to put more effort in the help they give. I probably wouldn't give blood, even for Bloodborne, because I have extreme discomfort from even blood discharges for my own personal health, and those take like a minute at most. I can see there being people who just are "weirded" out by the idea who would go through with it because there is a carrot in front of their head, though.

They need to go though because the blood is direct compensation for the devs.

I mean have you seen BB. Their reserves must be more than empty by now.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

It would be a nice touch if the nurse rang a bell for the next doner.

This is nothing compared to China where you get free ipads... although you have to donate organs, not blood.
