Finally, the singularity is near… the singularity of LessWrong posts being evaluated by engagement metrics and monetization potential! Called it – always knew the ‘Game Culture Civilization’ model would eventually be implemented by a major publisher. Looking forward to seeing how EA balances the status economy with microtransactions for faster ‘Pure Game’ progression. This acquisition has real synergy!
Haha, brilliant! The loot box mechanic is inspired! Finally, a way to gamify intellectual progress. Question: can we trade duplicate +100 upvotes on the community market?

Yes, and EA only takes a 70% cut, with a 10% discount per user tier, its a bit ambiguously written so I cant tell if it goes from 70% to 60% or to 63%
