Performance

gollark: The gifts thing sounds bad - just to be able to interact with an industry, you need to give companies free stuff and just hope they'll randomly give you stuff if you ask for it?
gollark: Also non-self-sufficient stuff.
gollark: But it doesn't scale to bigger stuff, and we need it to scale to bigger stuff.
gollark: Well, sure, which works fine if people are mostly self-sufficient and all know each other personally and can draw upon social stuff.
gollark: The friends thing would have the additional disadvantage of locking new players out of the economy.
