The man just wants to make MMOs but accidentally keeps creating billion dollar companies!


Reminds me of my brother, who wanted to have a little toy car consolation price at the christmas fair, but kept winning the main prices. Parents were chatting with another couple, he came asked for a buck to play, dumped the main price into my fathers arms, this went on six-times, he was almost crying by the point my father said "enough" the arm full of Dresden stollen. Sometimes your glorious victory is the defeat of others. Good times.

Or, you know, come crashing back to earth at terminal velocity.


That beats drifting out into deep space, alive but unable to do anything other than watch your life support system slowly but inevitably fail.
