made by Amazon

I expected it to be worse. Maybe not worse on the begging for money side, but worse in that it'd come pre-enshittified in a way only a megacorp could deliver.

Wasn't this the game that had an RCE exploit in the chat system? Like you could just type JavaScript in general chat and the game client would run it for anyone who saw it. That's about as enshittified as it gets (see also: smart appliances)

It had all sorts of weird exploits. There was an exploit where playing in windowed mode and resizing the window would effectively make you unkillable. That got used in PvP where you run into a capture point and then start resizing the screen keeping the capture point forever contested.
