  • I remember the early days of Paypal and eBay in the early 00’s. We were always on the phone with them trying to get payments unblocked. We were doing serious volume and they couldn’t keep up. They charged so many fees at the time it was basically robbery. A solid portion of overhead was fees to both companies. And it was a complicated mess. $0.50 and then 0.5% on the first $25 and then 0.257% on $26+ or something weird. Like wtf? Leon math.

    And chargebacks were insane. They had no real trust and safety for sellers. It was wild back then. Plenty of scams.










  • They literally built their engine from scratch. How much do you all think that costs? Wasn’t Starfields improved engine like 8 years and $1bn in the making?

    And look at THAT game.

    When 4.0 releases I am sure it will be solid. The game as it is right now is visually amazing. It’s a dream to be able to take your ship from port to planet. Mining is enjoyable. Pirating is fun. Flying is great, combat is cool. Spacewalking is cool, and also salvage. It’s just like being in space as I would imagine it.

    It’s not finished for sure but I can see where it’s going and I like it.
