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™” PR release. And so much more.
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.
