“Virtual” and “collectable” are two words that don’t belong in the same sentence unless it’s, “Online collectibles are virtually worthless.”
And yet nearly every game released on mobile is sells virtual collectibles, all kept in a server that will eventually go down.
As long as it requires a server to operate, then yes, it will go away one day. That it failed to turn a profit even before the economic downturn, according to that Reuters article they cite, doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence that it’s going to run for very long.
The game is an exploitative, hyper-monetized, FOMO-milking pile of absolute shit. Nothing of value will be lost if it goes away.
Funny how everyone was praising how unique and fun it was when it came out.
I did enjoy it for a while. I would probably be enjoying it if it was not because as you move up it becomes very different kind of game
but what about my gold splits? /s
