A greentext-style screenshot pretends that Left 4 Dead 2 is a modern live-service game with login bonuses, daily challenges, ranked matchmaking, perks, cosmetics, battle passes and loot boxes. The confused player treats ordinary game features like a badly designed free-to-play menu, while the unrelated RV-10 airplane video makes the joke even more absurd. It is used as a reaction to mock overcomplicated modern game systems or someone misunderstanding an older game.
