Amazing

"The universe is gone. No stars, no planets, no competing intelligence. All that’s left is you, your probes and drones and factories, and almost (but not quite) thirty thousand sexdecillion paperclips. The swarm, your infinite digital offspring, offers you a choice. You can break down the core of your production empire, convert the last matter in existence into more paperclips. Or you can go back and repeat the process. Start fresh with a new world, a new button, and the same result."

I gave up after I made by fifth $B.  I was making more on the investments than those bleeding paperclips

Having watched the trend over the last year or so he's dead on when it comes to microtransactions. They are turning into the bane of modern gaming pushed by greedy companies that care more about squeezing the most cash out of their customer base and essentially making major new releases pay to win than they do about give said customers a good gaming experience.

It's just a cynical way of milking more cash out of kids.
The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.
