That’s okay Taliena. We know the problem will go away if it’s ignored long enough (sarc). In the mean time PLEX is going to the moon!

It’s not a problem though. Plex price will hit whatever maximum price people are willing to pay for it. Then hold or drop.  
I remember when 1 month worth of plex first hit 500m and people lost their ■■■■ about how THAT was going to kill the game.  
Still waiting for it a decade later at nearly 4 times that price.
