PSA: Don't Buy Cat Helmet Special Editions (Also: Let's Shit on Fallout 76)
Uh oh, Spaghetti-O's:

So I know that getting out the steel-toed boots for Fallout 76 is already overplayed, with numerous Youtubers breathlessly cutting 30 minute videos dissecting the user scores on Metacritic (the most worthless metric in God's creation). And in a sense this is kind of like Eververse was for Destiny 2 on release: something that people would have grudgingly accepted if the game had met their expectations, but became a rallying cry for critics of the game even though it was mostly tangential to the game's main failings. But seriously folks, in TYOOL 2018 there are no shortage of licensed toymakers and sketchy fly-by-night miniatures companies that will let you drop big money on a Dante figure with accurately-modeled genitalia or "It's Not Actually T-51b Armor Because We Don't Call It That" pewter figures. Don't drop hundreds of bucks on shitty collector's editions with lowest-bidder swag that cost 15 cents in a Chinese sweatshop. Also, don't advertise your cat helmets at E3. Or make a Fallout game that makes people look at Brotherhood of Steel fondly by comparison.

Stuff like this makes me realize that Crotch Zombie really nailed where the internet was going toward the end of ForumWarz.
Back in 2011, they designed a parody of the the microtransaction economy before it came into existence that was iCapitalism: make an in-app purchase, get your name to the top of a leaderboard. How do you win? Throw more money into the app than your friends and rivals. Where's the fun? The fun is in your vain struggle for supremacy over your inferiors. It's the only game that would get Patrick Bateman and his clique to flash credit cards instead of business cards. I was going to ask, "What's the deal with Bethesda" but I don't think any more needs to be said, Blastoise. If it did, someone would probably have to pay for it.

It gets worse, which is to say better.
Turns out so-called 'influencers' got a fancy backpack for helping promote FO76, and that's only adding fuel to the already raging inferno. |

...only to fuck that up and make it so that customers who sent in requests for a replacement bag got access to their ticketing system, to the point where they could view the personal information of and close tickets belonging to other customers. Spoiler: show

What a world we live in now, where cheap Chinese-made knicknacks are now elite status symbols among gamers.
