The apartment is in disarray, with several gaming controllers and headsets scattered across the coffee table. Frasier is pacing near his laptop, gesturing dramatically. Niles is seated on the couch, delicately holding a controller as if it might bite him.)

Frasier: (Exasperated) Niles, you simply don’t understand the magnitude of this travesty! Epic Games has announced they’re re-releasing the Season 2 Battle Pass skins. Skins that I—might I add—earned through tireless effort and dedication.

Niles: (Frowning) Frasier, must we descend into such theatrics? They’re just digital outfits, are they not?

Frasier: (Wheeling around to face him) Digital outfits?! Niles, these skins are a mark of distinction, a badge of honor! The Black Knight, the Sparkle Specialist—symbols of a bygone era when Fortnite was an elite endeavor, not this free-for-all carnival it has become!

Niles: (Adjusting his cufflinks) And yet, from what I’ve read, Epic Games has graciously offered original owners an exclusive purple-and-gold variant. Surely that should suffice for someone as invested in exclusivity as you are?

Frasier: (Scoffs) Suffice?! Niles, it’s a gaudy afterthought, a blatant attempt to placate those of us who upheld the sanctity of the game’s history. It’s as if they handed out Renaissance paintings at a flea market but added a glitter frame for the original collectors.

Niles: (Raising an eyebrow) That does sound dreadful. But really, Frasier, isn’t it better that newer players get to enjoy these skins? Surely, inclusivity outweighs your vanity.

Frasier: (Pointing accusingly) Vanity? You’re one to talk! The last time we played together, you refused to wear any skin that wasn’t a perfect match for your virtual weapon wrap.

Niles: (Defensive) That’s entirely different! My ensemble was a study in virtual aesthetics—a tasteful juxtaposition of metallic blues and muted golds. Not this—this populist redistribution of exclusive content!
