That being said, it would make sense if upper-middle class (likely not "rich", more below) people played this game to raid heavily. Given TMO's borderline obsession with affirming themselves as "the best" it's obvious they have a great need to feel above others. When one considers the stressful nature and social politics of middle to upper-middle class jobs, P1999 provides an outlet where they can become irresponsible teenagers once again and feel like they "own" the world. The protective veil of the internet only catalyzes this transformation. "Rich" people likely do not play this game unless they suffer from an intense inferiority complex and need a window to vent their frustrations.

If P1999 didn't fulfill a great need, people wouldn't be willing to sacrifice their time on a whim to log into a game and lie to themselves about following strategies established years and years ago to win pixels to parade around, referring to them as "the best".

Well my analysis is done. Let's see if I'll be ripped apart or ignored this time.
This guy annoys the hell out of me.
