While I was debating buying Bellinger & Betts for the Dodgers collection, I noticed when I went in and out of the buy screen the prices kept changing in a matter of minutes. Maybe that means nothing, but I still wonder how the Market is out of their hands when it's their game.
Arefrom planet Uranus swooping in and pressing buttons to make Trouty close to 600K stubs? How does he stay above 500K?
Did Kanamits parachute in and wire the system?
I wish we had Leonard Nimoy from 'In search of' or Geraldo Rivera to open the SDS 'vault,' or Lt. Columbo to train his sons to catch everyone lying like he did, back in the dayAnd this comment my friends is why I keep reading the boards. If Columbo can’t figure it out it can’t be done.

Let's go off last year's sales of around 2.5 million hard copies, and that is just hard copy numbers, not digital downloads on both platforms. That would mean that if only 10% percent of people were online at any given time, that there would be 250k people playing the game at once. And possibly playing the market as well, while they play. That's a lot of people.
Let's assume, and I think it's a fair assumption, that those numbers have at least doubled with cross platform play. That would mean around 500k, at 10 % are online either playing or playing the market. Add into those numbers the playstation and xbox numbers for digital downloads and then add in the game coming to xbox, well, the numbers could be huge at any given time, especially when you factor in that it is a gamepass release.
I think you have underestimated the sheer number of people using the market to begin with.
Add in the app to play the market anywhere you go
