gotta hand it to whatever lobotomite runs the dexerto account, they really put a positive twist on "these idiots racked up an insane ai bill from people playing their free demo"
Meanwhile, the first builds of Minecraft were so popular that Notch got their paypal locked for suspicious activity with so much money coming in...
Not really the same signs of success ahah
There was also a period where PayPal would tell people that your account has been locked pending money laundering checks. Which made you sound really dodgy. It was a regulatory thing that was mandatory over a certain amount. Not sure if it overlapped with when this happend but it's pretty close.
I mean the game blew up, and he was selling it without a registered company. By the time they locked his account it had almost a million dollars on it. Same circumstances today, and paypal would do the same I reckon. The assets were unfrozen later from what I understand.
