Is this some kind of joke?

http://store.steampowered.com/app/288520/

I mean, maybe it's awesome, but the impression I get from the Steam page is that it is some kind of cash grab. What do you all think? At least it's only two dollars. It might be interesting to pick up on sale or something. Has anyone tried it yet?

I think they're trying to make new successful mods that can become standalone like "DayZ"

Is that what they said? In that case I understand it. But seriously, needs more dinosaurs. Where can we give them better dinosaur feedback?

it even stands in the store page... "When we unveiled our 2014 April Fools joke via the Splendid Split parody video, some of you were quite keen for us to release the go-karts package for real."

Dinosaurs are patented as BF joke. EA will sue anyone who will use them as joke in their game...

Would they sue me for making a PS with ArmA 3 + a T-rex? Since I should be sued a long time ago..

And these guys should be sued too...

You can play Karts DLC even without buying it, todays update included it for everyone.
There are some restrictions to it, but you can have some fun with them, try ´em out for a while and decide for yourself if it´s worth 2$ :D

Bohemia said some of the money that will come to them from this DLC will be donated to red cross, so yeah it's not that bad.

It would help if you were more specific.

"A portion of the proceeds from sales of the Arma 3 Karts DLC will be donated to the Czech Red Cross. The total amount raised will be announced on www.bistudio.com in June 2014."

Most likely this is to help with the current problems there with everything being flooded. Tons of people there have lost their homes, life savings, and in many cases the entire village they grew up and live in. It really is going badly there, and there is little to no money for aid.

From the page:

Start your engines - this is Arma 3 Karts! When we unveiled our 2014 April Fools joke via the Splendid Split parody video, some of you were quite keen for us to release the go-karts package for real. And here it is, for everyone to try. Enjoy this little sidestep in our typically military sandbox!

And also:

A portion of the proceeds from sales of the Arma 3 Karts DLC will be donated to the Czech Red Cross. The total amount raised will be announced on www.bistudio.com in June 2014.

So is there ingame functionality at all, for regular gameplay, or is this a side part?
