I don't understand the fascination. From what my son once told me, everyone has the same advantage, you're just paying for looks and individuality. I see that as a waste of money. Paying out for licensed characters is just a way to keep that going.

The only part I found interesting was when it shut down for a few days to have that major upgrade. All that was left was the black hole. That was quite fun watching everyone react.

I think you're being disingenuous, you perfectly understand this phenomenon but it doesn't appeal to you. Paying for pixels will always be dumb anyway.

At the end of the day it's the same as something like FunkoPop, you are paying for a digital or physical piece of nostalgia. Neither are for me, but it is what it is
