Alternatives named

  • Berghain

    From 1 comment
    • Who needs Berghain, the loading bar is much shorter and with less uncertainty at the end (a bit when it gets stuck at 93% briefly though :D)

  • EVE Online

    From 1 comment
    • Microtransactions. In a non-joking sense. People pay for outfits or gear to wear to the rave. Or they can work for it in game. Maybe a bit like EVE Online where you can pay…
