It'd be acceptable if the developer in turn were to refund me all the money I've given them when I was subscribed. I'm left with nothing, they're left with nothing. That's fair enough.

It's still viable even without invisibility. Petrify, Ensorcelled Hibernation, Uskayaw and Dithmenos are still there. My last win was an Spriggan Venom Mage that could backstab poison resistant enemies with a +11 artefact dagger.

I saw a few of you playing your first game and making sense of the commands. A quick cheat sheet: * `5` to rest until healed, status effects are gone, etc. * `o` to autoexplore * `i` for your inventory * `z` to cast magic, `I` to view your

"Big" doesn't always mean revenue. In this case means eyeballs, market share, whether it's a leader in its niche (it is), public opinion, etc. Netflix is huge.
