This takes me back to the beginning years of the Star Citizen grift. And the Fallout 76 "Tenpenny" chud community. And EVE Online's monocle-enjoying bootlickers at the start of the "Greed is Good(tm)" PR release. And so much more.
What was the tenpenny chud community? now im curious. Larping as reactionary wealthy people in fallout76?
Early on in Fallout 76, when it became clear there was basically nothing to do but spend money (this is before that barebones "we added NPCs!" patch), there was a contrarian bunch of
gate-adjacent smuglords that declared that they'll spend more money the worse the monetization got, as a flex against the poors. Yes, they named their little contrarian group after the 
of the same name in Fallout 3.
Of course chuds have to also chose the second worst game in entire series to pose about it in the worst game of entire series.
