Without the games industry all of them would have been prostitutes, just like Alyssa Mercante used to be. Just like she's gonna be, once her little Alexis Carrington-Colby-style, arch-nemesis-of-all-gamers, rage-bait grift runs dry. (Which might be a way off, since the YouTube commentators need her for their own rage-bait content, so they're gonna keep promoting her drivel.)
