But real baseball cards exist. I appreciate your thorough response. But it doesn't help me understand this at all.

The same company that made World of Warcraft also made the other game that I was referring to. Not sure about today, but years ago, I believe people had to pay a monthly fee to play World of Warcraft. It was only a few dollars a month, but millions of people around the world played that game daily. That was probably what your step brother's gift was for.

I don't get it as well, buying virtual items I mean, but I guess people could be doing worse things with their time and money.
