    Heh. I have played a few games, and the only ones with functional auction houses and economies had ways to put real money in, but not get real money out.

      Well the original GTA stock market did not let you take real money out.

      That would have been completely insane.

      Basically only EVE online, I think, has anything close to that, kind of, its complicated.

      But the point I’m getting at is… they had a game mechanic that, if you were clever, could make you in game rich.

      They destroyed this mechanic, and replaced it with ‘if you want to be in game rich, give us actual moneh.’
