That opinion was basically the spirit of Gamefan magazine and any forum where people played lots of action games was, way before 1999

You just reminded me of something. Here is an old man gamer story that relates to 1999 Something Awful...

In around 1999 I used to have Lowtax on ICQ. Back then it would be normal to have randos on your contact list, and I was a teenage rando on his contact list. He would usually be open to chatting whenever I messaged him, though he had this idle arrogance about him that then I chalked up to him just being older and cooler than me. At some point he ran into financial problems because Planet Quake or Shack News or whatever stiffed him on his pay. He had just recently posted a review of a 3Dfx Vooodoo 3 video card that he received as a review sample he could keep. I suggested to him that since that was a very new video card that was hard to get, he should post it on this website called eBay. And then have the people on the Something Awful forums (gen 1 forums, a toxic nest of edgelords) bid on it. He did, and it backfired. eBay was really lovely back then. The people in the forums just kept troll bidding higher and higher numbers and the auction ended up in the thousands of dollars. The buyer then never sent him the money but eBay kept trying to charge Lowtax the sales fee and the whole situation spiraled out of control. He them hit me up on ICQ blaming me for it saying it was a loving stupid idea and I probably planned to troll him all along, and blocked me on ICQ. And that's the last time I ever talked to Lowtax.
