Who needs a resume when you're getting $47000 every week?

I'm pretty sure most novelists wouldn't make that much after a week of releasing a new book :&#124; (..the publishers on the other hand)]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Well, the idea is good. The reason money is earned is because of the stats tied to hats and because the crafting recipe was made 3 times more expensive. If neither of those were true this would indeed have been a win situation for the community.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[<i>Quoted from RaCio</i>
		<blockquote>
Micro-transactions and hats have not much to do with a good community or a quality game.
As long as there is attention for the core quality of the game there shouldn't be a problem. But seeing weird things like stat hats (literally haven't found anyone who liked the idea of tying stats to hats) and disabling accounts of several players for no reason it seems that is not the case anymore.</blockquote>

Agreed, but I'm saying neither of those issues are really related to this. Disabling accounts is bad admining on steam's part, and the stat hats are just a silly idea. I just mean the idea that someone made something, it got picked up by the game devs, the devs make money, the item makers get money, and the community gets a new item. Everybody wins.

But ye, just saw Rafe's post and I tend to agree with him.]]></description>
