It was stripe BTW, visa and MasterCard are not payment processors.

US public schools taught me that mean=average and the others were themselves, not that average describes any process to find a "normal" value. Just throwing that out there so people know why the conversation above happens so frequently.

While the pressure on the credit card companies should still work due to conversations behind closed doors, my understanding is that those companies are not actually payment processors. Payment processors are a bunch of companies/banks, some you likely haven't heard of (one is PayPal though, feel free to make your voice heard to them), and they are taking legal responsibility for the transactions themselves, and thus actually have incentive to police transactions. Credit card companies themselves, not having those legal liabilities, would much rather people just spent their money everywhere as long as there was low risk of cards being stolen or misused.

Doesn't sound like you're any different than oop when it comes to pointlessly hating on something that others enjoy.

Isn't this just Sunk-Cost fallacy?

My best guess is the "peaceful world we anchored" bit

Sure! Here's an MMO without many series-defining features that you can add in iteratively throughout the game's lifespan to someday become a complete and compelling product! Then, you can shut it down and do it again!

Yes, many many hours. That game is also mostly positive, but the nasty players are hard to move on from haha. I still love the game overall.

I've been loving Rematch. This kind of team game reveals that, at least to some people, positivity and learning through mistakes will make a team stronger than negativity and shouting. Most of my games have been amazing, and the angry players seldom win. I always hit left dpad early on to get the ball rolling.
