00:05Welcome to the end of Curiosity.
00:08We started this experiment back in November of 2012
00:13and we have been completely blown away
00:17by how the world has embraced this amazing experiment
00:22and that's exactly what it was, an experiment.
00:25Could we take the simplest possible conceivable thing
00:30connecting people together and allowing them to tap on this massive cube
00:35could we take that and pose this question of what's in the centre?
00:41Now when we released it the first real question was
00:44what is inside the cube?
00:47And I said, and I'm known for these things
00:51I said there's something amazing in the side
00:54something life-changing inside
00:56Well, this is what this video is about
01:00After 25 billion cubelets have been destroyed
01:07over 150 days
01:09After 4 million people have downloaded it onto various devices
01:15and after hosting tens of thousands of simultaneous concurrent users
01:22we have reached the end
01:24and one lucky person
01:26has reaped the rewards of their hard efforts
01:31How can anything be worth all that effort?
01:39Well, we could give you a piece of advice
01:41we could say, I'll be nice to people
01:45We could say, here's a watch of cash
01:48but it needs to be more meaningful than that
01:51It needs to say more about the effort
01:54as much about the effort
01:56as about the outcome
01:59And so, what is in the centre
02:02is something that only we can grant
02:06and it is the ability
02:10to be a digital god
02:15We are making a game called goddess
02:18The whole game is about being a god
02:22to your followers
02:24You, you, the person who reached the centre
02:29will be the god of all people
02:32that are playing goddess
02:34You will decide
02:37intrinsically decide
02:38on the rules
02:39that the game is played by
02:42And
02:44here's the life-changing bit
02:46You will share in the success
02:49of the product
02:51Every time
02:53people spend money
02:55on goddess
02:56you will get
02:57a small
02:58piece
02:59of that pie
03:00We will follow up
03:02with details of what that means
03:04It does mean
03:06Let's break this down
03:08and analyse this
03:09It means that you
03:10will decide on how people play a game
03:13You will accrue
03:16riches
03:17from that game
03:18from the start
03:20until the finish
03:22of your reign
03:23That
03:24by any definition
03:26the word
03:26is life-changing
03:27You will have fame
03:29You will have fortune
03:31And
03:32you will have
03:33the power
03:35to introduce
03:36morals
03:37into a game
03:40This idea
03:41of allowing
03:42one human being
03:44to be the god
03:45of an entire game genre
03:48came to us
03:49many years ago
03:51And it's only now
03:52when we are all
03:53connected
03:54when the whole
03:55of
03:56the gaming universe
03:58is connected together
03:59that we have
04:00the power
04:00to do it
04:02And I hope
04:03that you will find
04:05that this is worth
04:06those sore fingers
04:08that you may have
04:08gained through tapping
04:09And I hope
04:11the world agrees
04:12with me
04:12that it is
04:13a worthy prize
04:15for the efforts
04:16of what's inside
04:17the cube
04:18Thank you
04:19very much
04:20for all your efforts
04:21And thank you
04:22very much
04:23to those people
04:23who didn't get
04:24to the centre
04:25of curiosity
04:26We may
04:28who knows
04:29start another experiment
04:30even more intriguing
04:32Thank you very much
04:33Thank you
