Frozen Account Further Sours PayPal’s Terrible Reputation

For the third time in about a year, PayPal has frozen the account of an independent developer for six months, presumably because preorder activity triggered red flags. PayPal rarely says why in this case, even to the account holder, leaving its actions to appear arbitrary and bureaucratic, if not portrayed as mean-spirited.

Minecraft had $750,000 frozen last September; the makers of Project Zomboid had their account locked in May, requiring a clever work-around to get the game to customers. Now Xenonauts, the X-Com remake, has had funds frozen for 180 days.
