in reply to @alyaza's post:

I keep asking, "who is this for."

And then I realize that if Square Enix takes a cut of any of these transactions, then they are hunting whales. They're hunting rich people with enough spare change that they can just buy a ticket to participate in the final mission of this game - a ticket you can sell if you earn it by playing the game enough and are lucky.

They're selling lottery tickets in the shape of a video game, and they're turning the game into a new form of work, and they're ensuring that the only people having any real fun are the rich folks. I have to admire this the way one admires the xenomorph. They have invented a game where you speedrun late-stage capitalism.
