Because he is getting the ideas for free?

This is not true. He said he will put 2500USD on the table for the best idea. This is not "for free".
Why don't people just post their ideas with some sort of disclaimer that the 2500USD have to be paid before the idea is adopted?

Many people just don't get the point that an escrow is absolutely useless. The OP could very well put the 2500USD to an escrow,
let you post your ideas and then ask the escrow for a refund because none of the submissions meet his definition of "a good idea".

The escrow is a misconception, does not give you any additional security, and is - in the way it is used here in the forum - completely pointless.
Why do people still do it?

You basically say escrow is useless because OP can say there were no good ideas and take his money back but you state the text in red? If OP is not truthful about putting the money on the table then he is getting free ideas.

When I ask the OP to use escrow I would expect some sort of guarantee that there will be a payout and maybe let the escrow person confirm this as well so he doesn't pull the "there were no good ideas" excuse. If OP does that then I assure you there will be pages upon pages of decent ideas. But this will never happen since no one (in their right mind) will pay $2500 for an idea so everyone is basically wasting their time.

I agree with this 100 %. Why he would pay so much money for some random idea here, when with that money he can pay some professionals to do that job. Its not a little money, and to he just say to someone" hey you have nice idea here it is 2500 $ " sounds too good to be truth.
And we all know here very good what that means. OP is probably just bored and trying to get some inspiration here.

Of course he will not use escrow, when this is just one big joke. This thread is good just for +1 in spreadsheet in signature campaigns. People will tell what first they think of and that's it. But I think its ok, that means its not completely wasting time on this topic.

Or maybe one day someone will come and see some good idea and really use it for some game. That would be good thing.
My simple idea is risiko, or any other war game that can be played with btc. Like some tournaments or one on one will be good.
