        If the internet was a real a place i would be able to pull article from the time period but search yields jack shit.

        but here something now (2020) https://screenrant.com/oblivion-horse-armor-dlc-controversy-explained/

        In 2006 - a year after the Xbox 360’s launch - the term “microtransaction” wasn’t even widely known. Instead, Oblivion’s Horse Armor was just called “bad DLC.” But it ended up kick-starting of one of gaming’s most hated and most lucrative business tactics.

          I didn’t find any references to “cache”. That’s the part I want to understand, what the significance of that part of the joke. Why “cache”?

              Ah, as in it provides respect? And sounds like cash? I know, I know, dissecting jokes is a lot of fun.
