I’d pay for it either way. I can’t wait to see what they have coming this summer.

True! True! That’s one of the reasons I’m still on home. I can be myself! I’m no quirkier then the next person. Lol

I’d pay damn good money to get my hands on a Chamber Apartment, or something very similar to it. Since it’s not coming back, I can only second the notion to create an updated or enhanced version and sell it.

What I like about the idea of developing content for Home lies in what you mentioned about how Heavy Water’s items are a projection of whom they are. It’s similar to how Brandon Tartikoff once described his successful “strategy” for picking megahit TV shows: he simply greenlit the ones he personally liked, and to hell with focus groups and committee meetings.

Considering how the video game industry is moving the way of the film industry, Home seems one of the few opportunities where you can put something personal out there in front of a huge audience. Which makes it quite awesome.

Having met the Heavy Wayer crew, these are fun, edgy people. They are not boring corporate drones who were selling soda water last week and video games this week. They are the cool people who you look forward to talking with. You can see it in their projects. Their items in Home are projections of who they are in real life. They stay true to themselves and don’t compromise.

I hope they release an updated Chamber, but leave the old one as is. That way the original is still exclusive and they can release a new one. I would make the new one exclusive also. It is a tribute to them that people are still asking for it after so many other apartments have come out.

Heavy Water creates things that I want to own. I am looking forward to whatever comes next. They are quietly doing great things. I am glad they are getting some recognition.

I can understand Sony’s reluctance to re-release it in that they want to protect the integrity of it being a “free exclusive”, but I doubt anyone who got it legitimately three years ago would really be upset if newer users, like myself, paid cash for the privilege.

It’d be pure profit, too. It’s not like they’d have to spend any money on research and design or anything.

Lol,
I would too. Maybe we could try and induce Sony to release it again as an item for purchase. I have been in it and it is “fantastic”.

I would gladly pay $10 for the Chamber Apartment. Just sayin’…
