note: >-
  method set 2026-08-26. These tiers were never read from a live machine-readable pricing endpoint
  and cannot now be re-verified: readyplayer.me and its /developers pricing page were removed from
  DNS after the public platform shut down on 2026-01-31 (Netflix acquisition, December 2025) —
  see lifecycle/ready-player-me-lifecycle.yml. Both listed source URLs returned curl exit 6
  (could not resolve host) on 2026-08-26. No price figure below is a published number; Studio and
  Enterprise are recorded as Quote/Call because no rate card was captured. The plans are RETIRED —
  none is purchasable.
