And no, I don’t mean whale in the sense of MMO players who spend way too much money on games. I mean in the original metaphorical sense of a difficult or obsessive goal, the one that got away, the thing you’re always chasing and can’t quite catch.
I feel like I’ve been chasing the perfect economy MMO sandbox my whole dang life.

The ones that exist are good, but every one of them is missing some key element that stops it from being perfect.
