      Oh, my sweet summer child. That money is already spent.

      And in this exhibit we see an example of “uncreative condescension”. Note the certainty of tone, the diminutive treatment of others, and the unoriginal text selection. Truly a great specimen for our museum of narcissistic comments. Please, don’t tap on the glass or it may try to condescend to you too.

          Am I fighting fire with fire? Have I become the very thing I hate?

          100%. Actually true.

          I am guilty. And somewhat ashamed.

        Probably AWS stuff. An application that hasn’t been designed to scale well can get very expensive very quickly.

          Iirc the hosting cost so far is a few hundred thousand dollar. So far. But with the tanking of player base the price might get lower the coming month.

          Yeah, the devs did say server costs were killing them, IIRC. Probably some of the reason for the relatively minor updates since launch has been putting out the fire of ballooning cloud expenses.
