That's not gaming anymore than people buying toys, leaving them in their boxes as an "investment" are into playing with toys.

Meanwhile the rest of us are buying games, playing them, enjoying them, moving on to other games and so on.

Yea that's where I'm at. I'm platform agnostic, and the only game I simp for is the original halo trilogy. Microtransactions are dirty. And making digitized items a financial value just to sell them is the same as what you said, like Funko pop collectors.
