>>9102250>>In the future when VR is a household thing it may have better traction, but for now the appeal is lost imo.This is still fucking dumb.
It's like being sold wallpaper for your computer, remember that in the 90s?
Or when Cartoon Network had their website made for little kids where you could collect little icons (some could be animated) that you could only see on their website when logged in.
See also Shenmue.
Only the most OCD people wanted to collect all that shit, grinding to have them all.
With generation Y and Z paying for online play and making that normal, i guess people today are stupid enough to pay actual money for this shit.
It'll be akin to having physical ownership of a movie or cartoon. Digital only consumers will look down on "materiallisticfags" the way piraters look down on "buyfags" do today. Somehow they'll believe they're enlightened with their minimalist podsharing lifestyle despite relying on digital goods in the same way materialfags have relied on physical ownership. Consumption is still the same, whether it's digital or physical.
