I’ve been playing a lot of MechWarrior Online with my friends.
It stinks big time so I don’t recommend anyone here play it, but it tickles the part of my brain that loves griefing and making self-important people mad. We make goofy builds (like, a lance of lights that overheat assaults with flamers and then backstab them, lol) and just watch as people piss their pants with fury.
Anyway a few years back PGI put solid gold mech skins for the then-newly-released clanner mechs up for sale. $500 for ONE SKIN, and there were 8 skins in total. Some people actually bought them too!
In response, the playerbase banded together to mercilessly teamkill anyone using them. So now nobody uses them anymore. That’s class consciousness babey.
