The Grift Has Loaded.

from Post Game Report · host Jose Betancourt

From fake gaming chairs to crypto bro streamers and "exclusive" coaching programs, the video game community has become a goldmine for a very special kind of hustler. In this episode, we break down the most common grift playbooks — the hype merchant, the pay-to-win prophet, the fake guru — and what makes gaming fans such an appealing target. Spoiler: it involves parasocial relationships, FOMO, and a lot of limited-time offers.
