The figure has still gone unpurchased.

Another important pair of concepts related to the weeb's gambit are that of "the peak" and "the cliff". The writing in weeb games often had concepts that would intrigue Joe, only for the writing to nosedive and sour Joe's impression of the game entirely. Whenever Joe began to get a sense that a weeb game was about to do something he disliked, he would say he was beginning to "see the cliff" after the game had brought him to a the story's peak.<ref>{{YTCite|h5xnA2Xkw_c|channel=Falco|title=<nowiki>Joseph Anderson 13 Sentinels stream 7 with chat [04/06/2023]</nowiki>|time=4325|channel_icon=Falco.jpg}}</ref> This concept has now bled over to non-weeb games, and Joe will comment that a cliff is approaching when a game is taking a turn for the worse.
