[Desura] Help me get paid!

This is going to sound a little crazy, but here goes.

I have a game selling on Desura, but Desura only pays me for every $500 profit I make (and I make about 70% per sale.) I want my money! I have about $455~ already.

So what I'm asking is for people who use Desura (or would be kind enough to make an account) to give me their usernames, and I'll send them a copy of the game as a gift. For free.

This sounds crazy, but I'd be spending about $45, 70% of which I'd get back so it's only $10-$15 loss, in order to get the full $500 payout.

Please, if you have Desura or are willing to create an account, let me send you a free game! I want my monies!

Thanks! Post your usernames here!

Desura is at: http://www.desura.com. My game is at http://www.desura.com/games/monster-rpg-2 if you want to check it out first.

Just found out, I have to add you as a friend to send you a gift. So you'll have to confirm. The other way is to give me the email address you signed up with. Either way is fine for me. Thanks! :)

Everyone doing this needs to confirm the friendship request I sent. Thanks!

EDIT: Ok, got enough now, anybody else who wants the game I'll send you a promo code. Thanks everyone!

When you make an Android port, I'd love one. :D

I installed the game and launched it, but the GUI was acting weird. It was as if I had an arrow key held at all times. I can use the mouse, but it is pretty annoying that the cursor moves between all options all the time. (I'm on ubuntu 64-bit)

EDIT:
It seems I have the right arrow button pressed at all times.(I got past the introductory bit to where I need to move my character for the first time)

J-Gamer: If you're using Linux, then it's probably a drop or motion sensor. I fixed it for the next release, but for now, check out this: http://www.monster-rpg.com/wiki/Miscellaneous#.22Eny_keeps_moving_in_one_or_multiple_directions_as_if_a_key_were_stuck.22_or_.22Moving_the_laptop_causes_input_events.22

Neil: Maybe. The sales have pretty much stopped.

He's got enough to make the $500 limit. He's just being nice allowing extra promo codes.

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

shit, $500 to get paid?, that's crazy, I was thinking on placing some of my games there, but Windows sells so little that I feel it's not worth at all my time..
it amazes me how different are these app stores, heck, RIM and Intel pay you whatever you make each month.

Trent:
how many months took you to reach those $455 ?
do the other Windows stores where you have your game sell any good ?

Not sure exactly. Maybe 3 months?

GamersGate sells pretty good. Ubuntu Software Center sold good in the beginning. Those are the only ones besides iOS/Mac. Hopefully Android will do OK as I'm releasing there in a little while.

Anybody who wants codes, it's a free-for-all. Here's a bunch:

I bought Monster 2 RPG for my iPhone. It's a pretty neat little RPG :)

I'm looking forward to playing it on something with a much bigger screen (I claimed one of the Desura Codes :))

I installed Desura and then the game Lazercat, but it fails to start without any error report. Anyone knows anything?

Yeah that was the first one I tried and it said it was already claimed by 'BHXSpecter' (or something like that). I'm guessing that was you :)

They both fail to start? I haven't even downloaded Monster 2 seeing as how I'm at work.

The Desura client works. The game fails to start, with no error message whatsoever.
