Welp Google just dropped Free Tier Gemini API RPD to 20 from 250. My n8n automations are basically dead now. That feels rough for anyone building small projects. #GeminiAPI

NCsoft had a massive 2024 loss. That debt is the only reason Aion 2 is launching with a €390 per year model. They are financially forcing P2W to rebound fast. It isnt a mistake, its desperation. #Aion2MonetizationModel
