The tenth drone doesn't cost 1000 EUR
German free-to-play MMO developer Bigpoint developer has played down reports that they made 2 million EUR in four days from sales of one particular virtual item.

Mattias Mirlach, PR rep for Bigpoint explained that, while there are numerous ways to get hold of the tenth drone, it was not available to buy directly. He added that payments made towards securing the item would not add up to anything as much as the suggested 1000 EUR cost for the drone.
