gollark: And I hear people who take payment from them complain lots although I don't know exactly why.
gollark: They do apparently use their payment processor status for censorious purposes.
gollark: How micro- are their transactions?
gollark: That doesn't really make much sense to me. You would need to spend money to artificially fiddle with the price. More money than you gain from the higher gold prices probably.
gollark: Unfortunately there isn't really good microtransaction infrastructure around yet as far as I know.
