Comment by Slicekeepr on Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At

I don't know if I've ever played a game for leisure purposes. Its always a puzzle or problem I have to solve. The reward is knowing the problem was solved. I think this is an example of concern trolling for money. The gist of this article is "another reason crypto is bad". You could have wrote this article about happy meal toys and it would have read the same. I just don't get why selling your game character with everything you've put into it is so bad? I feel like digital versions of games are ripoffs because you cannot return them if you don't like the game and you cannot sell them to someone who might genuinely like the game or want it enough to pay just slightly below cost. You might also want to clarify that most of these games start with mostly affordable mint prices, not hundreds of dollars... Yeah to buy one now, not when it came out. For instance, you need at least $21 to buy an Axie on their marketplace, then you can start playing. And the token was $0.10 when it launched on Binance. Fortnite's freemium version is what everyone thinks of when Fortnite comes to mind, but the real game costs 39.99 retail, has a better monetization setup but no token. The token being attached to the game is where people lose their marbles. You really need to specify which P2E game is charging hundreds of dollars to start playing. Literally google: "cost to start playing Axie Infinty".
