In an age of highly advanced immersive gaming devices, three gaming giants have monopolized the market, flooding it with reskinned pay-to-win garbage and leaving hardcore gamers across the internet miserable.

When top-tier streamers across the internet confidently enter the game, only to be tormented in every way by an elite monster in the beginner village until they break down, cry, and smash their headsets, the entire streaming world erupts!
