MMO baron tries to flex his near-incomparable fortune but accidentally gives the whole thing away: "That's not good"

Newly released MMO Ravendawn has a technical issue that led to one of the game's richest players losing his entire fortune.
Ravendawn came out three months ago as a free-to-play MMO that channels some of the genre's old-school, top-down charm. Naturally, part of that old-school charm allows for money exploits and easy scams, which are front stage in Twitch streamer Etup's viral clip.
Etup attempts to trade for whetstones with another lower-level player, and when it comes time to offer an amount for the goods, the streamer types in 112,979,563 silver to show off his exorbitant wealth. Etup eventually stops with the jokes, deletes the 112 million offer, and presses the 'Accept' button. But a Ravendawn bug, which seems to use the most recently entered offer if none is present, causes Etup to accidentally give up his entire hoard while trying to flaunt it online.
What makes the unfortunate loss even more entertaining is Etup's reaction, as the streamer mistakenly thinks he's receiving "free whetstones" while making the trade, only to lose three months of grind. "That's not good," he can only say as reality sets in.
Some Redditors jokingly argued that the unlucky turn of events was an act of karma. "It's all fun and games until a poor, destitute man loses 14 whetstones or whatever," user Delfofthebla says. "Poor guy isn't gonna be able to eat this week."
Other players in the Reddit post reminisced on similar exploits that ruined their virtual economies over the years. "Reminds me of Neverwinter Online," Redditor Time_Currency writes. "Forgot to code no negative numbers at the [auction house] and someone figured out a fun trick" to gain absurd amounts of cash instead.

Helldivers 2 Game Master Joel works to fix "inconsistent" liberation results, but lacking in-game communication tools is the bigger problem
Liberating planets on Helldivers 2's galactic war table should affect other territories linked by invisible supply lines, a system that one dev admits can be "inconsistent," but that's not the game's most pressing issue right now as a lack of in-game communication tools means more casual divers are left out of the loop.
