  • Gravity at the event horizon is inversely related to the mass of the black hole. So for a supermassive black hole, gravity at the event horizon can be weak. But you still can’t escape because it’s too large.

    Imagine light trying to escape the Earth’s gravity. Its path is slightly deviated by the Earth, then it gets far enough away that the Earth has little further effect.

    Now suppose at that distance, it still experienced the same gravity. So the trajectory of light is deviated a little more. It keeps moving farther away but gravity barely changes, even at huge distances. Eventually all those little deviations add up and it’s going back where it came from. Light can’t escape. It’s a black hole.

    My sort of interesting experience:

    I tried to buy the LE on launch day, and couldn’t get through the payment page. When it was listed as sold out, I bought a regular deck without much difficulty.

    Then I saw the LE was available again, and decided to try to buy it again. I was planning to cancel my original order if I could get the LE.

    I tried to check out dozens of times over the next 24 hours, but on the final page I kept getting the “something went wrong” error.

    About an hour ago, I decided to cancel my original order (you can do this by requesting a refund on the order page). The refund was issued 15 minutes later.

    I went back and tried to order the LE again, 30 minutes after the refund was confirmed. Went through on the very first try.

    So from my limited experience, I think Steam might be blocking all LE orders (and maybe even regular deck orders?) if you already have an active order.
