I gotta say, I'm not sure if Maingear's Retro98 is a genius move or just a bunch of hype
. On one hand, it's awesome that they're paying homage to the retro era, especially for fans of Quake and other classic games. But on the other hand, who can afford $9,799?
That's almost as expensive as some politician's fancy new jetplane
. And with only 32 units available, it's like Maingear is trying to create a whole new class system among gamers – you either have the cash or you're left in the dust
. But hey, if being retro-cool is what matters most, then I guess it's worth breaking the bank for
