While I agree that this is not a good thing, I have to say it is not much different to for example Pokemon cards. Sure you could sell physical cards - if you're lucky maybe even without loss - but I don't think it is so much different.

I get the old man sentiment. But I remember being excited for a gift card to the arcade. Is it very different? Is it bad?

It's also no different than a RuneScape membership in the 2000s, or hell, Roblox Builder Club almost 20 years ago.

Both of those brought me an immense amount of joy and connection to others that I would never otherwise had gotten to experience living in an isolating rural area.
