    I had a roommate who was absolutely a whale, and he would buy expensive skins in multiplayer games because they were expensive and he literally wanted to feel better than others who he thought couldn’t afford the skin. When in almost all situations it’s that they just weren’t idiots like him

      Yeah your anecdote doesn’t catch the vast majority of people that this shit exploits though. Seriously, blaming the whales isn’t a useful argument to convince people this shit is cancer, it’s just a oh we can’t do anything about it cop-out.

        Yeah I never blamed the whales or said it was ok. I just said he was dumb
