Idea just hit me like a reflected crit rocket.
A SPUFmas Carol.
An average poster is visited by three ghosts:
The Ghost of Updates Past, a zombie pyro, who shows him the game as it was played right after release. Lamenting on how underpowered they are.
The Ghost of Updates Present, a scout in a pink fast learner, bills, and earbuds. Some sort of trading thing or something.
The Ghost of Updates Yet to Come, an engineer with the gunslinger, vr goggles, and googly gazer. Surrounded by unusual effects. Talks about the final update Valve releases, and the small group of players that still remain.
Moral of the story- gives his prized hat to a gibus-wearing F2P.
