Topic	"Teddy bear lynchers" - A Quinton 1st Look at the Modern Class War
SaveEstelle 10/30/19 4:15:37 PM #1:	https://www.thedailybeast.com/bethesdas-fallout-class-war-has-players-targeting-premium-subscribers Since its launch in November 2018, Fallout 76 has played host to chapter after chapter of a saga in greed and ineptitude. Yet not since #canvasgate has the beleaguered online service faced such sharp resentment as it does today, with its rollout of Fallout 1st, a monthly (or yearly) subscription designed to further shackle its bourgeoisie to the chains of capitalism and belittle its proletariat once more. I bought Fallout 1st on my own terms and I enjoyed it, but those asshats had to hunt me down, nuke my camp, and attack me relentlessly, a reddit user (not Ultimaterializer) claimed. Those asshats are a frustrated proletariat systematically targeting the rich in a constant stand against the excesses of Bethesdas best-paying clientele. What a shocker, another Redditor wrote. A game with themes of class struggle and people struggle against a feature that only benefits players with disposable income. The only way players can meaningfully rebuild West Virginia, it seems, is by doing the exact same thing as in the pre-apocalypse, gaming site Polygon wrote of the conflict between the games anti-capitalist aesthetic and its relentless pressure on players to buy things. Sure, you can farm Atomic Points, but these cosmetics come so fast and furious that the only way to get everything you need is to pull out your wallet. Dancing to the tune of the top 1% has always been an easy feat, unless you happened to be a Czar in early 20th-century Russia. Well, we can add another underprivileged elite class to the fold, because Fallout 1st players are easily identifiable by their icons, their covetable gear, and special moves only available to top-paying members. Even doing one of those special dances is license for a beatdown now, said one player who claimed to have been beaten up when I decided to do the Mothman emote [a premium-only dance move] in Vault 51. At least 5 -7 people in teddy bear costumes kept punching me. This is a developing story. --- ~Slowbro, after this we'll go to Johto...
