Part 4/12:
The Trolling and Meme Culture Behind the Scenes

A closer look reveals that this might very well have been a trolling stunt. Gaming industry humorists and meme-makers have spotlighted the incident, especially because it coincided with Microsoft's Xbox Series X console design, which also received attention for its distinctive holes. Notably, a Kotaku review even humorously commented on the console’s holes, linking it to the trypophobia controversy, suggesting the whole chain might be a setup for laughs.
