The narrator discovers that someone named Moby spent $46,450 on a Garry's Mod (GMod) role-playing server called Gaming Light. The narrator investigates and finds that most of the money was spent on custom job packages, which cost $100 each but have additional fees for things like player models and car models. These fees can range from $100 to $850. The narrator also discovers that custom jobs are not truly permanent, as they can be removed if the player is deemed inactive, and that removed jobs are auctioned off to other players through a private Discord server. The narrator criticizes Gaming Light for their business practices, calling them "scummy" and accusing them of price gouging.
