The solution has been announced!  It is a seven hour rollback.  This is enough to hit a large number of the exploiters, when the game was in full-on crash mode, but still misses the first few waves - and, of course, the people who have been doing this since the game launched.  Goons are reporting mule accounts being entirely intact, because they cashed in prior to 5:20am PDT.  Redditors are reporting that the bug still exists, but is slightly trickier to activate.

Best part of the Q&A thread:

Q: But... I won the Armored Nightmare from a lockbox! I'll never get that lucky again!

A: We know how much that would sting. We are looking into ways we can make it better, but we don’t have an exact plan yet. Stay tuned and keep checking here for updates.

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention, it's one of those standard shitty chinagames where you get a bunch of locked boxes as drops all the time that have a small chance, when opened, to give fantastic super-valuable prizes.  Single-use keys are 125 Zen.  The top prize was, last I saw, selling for 1.5m diamonds - about $75 at pre-exploit zen exchange rates.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

There IS still a part of me that takes it personally that people who seem to have slept through the entire 100 series of programming courses get real programming gigs and I'm doing what I'm doing.

If you buy into the stereotypical view that people's technical ability is usually inversely proportional to their charisma, it stands to reason that the worst programmers are more likely to be hired for the best jobs.

I'm not sure if you're really insulting my charisma, my programming ability, or just saying they're both sort of mediocre.

The first part of that sentence was meant to imply bullshit.

Don't believe him!
He was making the claim that would offend you the most!

EDIT:
So should I be excited about Shadowrun Returns or am I just being dumb?

From now on that one will be known as the XboX.

The Xbox is no longer the first Xbox.  Henceforth it shall be known as the Ex-Xbox 1.

Just be glad Arc System Works didn't have a say in this.

So the Xbox One might require you to connect it to the Internet at least once a day in order to work.

Or something. It's a little unclear.

Man, if you're going to require bullshit like that, you probably ought to invest in creating a free, national wi-fi network.

I see that Microsoft is continuing their recent string of stellar business decisions.

Sony making money wouldn't normally be something to be happy about but I've said over and over that they've been making, uh, most of the right decisions this generation (pretty sure they're doing some version of the pre-owned fee too, but no word if it's the same incomprehensible "secondhand price + full retail price = ???" scheme) and it'd be nice to have the PS2 era of single-console solidarity back.  I hope we get to see how the thing actually plays at the show.
