    TwilightVulpine,

    Funny how everyone was praising how unique and fun it was when it came out.

    sanzky,

    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

    sanzky,

    but what about my gold splits? /s

    MagicShel,

    “Virtual” and “collectable” are two words that don’t belong in the same sentence unless it’s, “Online collectibles are virtually worthless.”

    CaptainBasculin,

    Virtual data on the internet that currently we take granted for could cease to exist later on, so collecting these data is not worthless at all. There exists many lost media even in the age of internet.

    With that said, collectibles that only takes a server to mark “you have it” truly are worthless.

    TwilightVulpine,

    And yet nearly every game released on mobile is sells virtual collectibles, all kept in a server that will eventually go down.

    Or just repurposed.

    When one game stops generating money, it’s time to roll out the next and sell new collectables. And it’s gonna need a server to store it on, right?

    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.
