Virtual trading cards?

[pokerplyr80]

Jantz that I actually understand more. I think my step brother received a Christmas gift one year of $100 worth of virtual currency in world of war craft. Or some game along those lines. I've never played such a game but from what I understand part of the allure is escaping in an alternate reality of sorts. Certainly it's quite a bit different than the real world.

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.

I tried to like the whole BUNT thing but to me it's just a game. If I'm going to play a game on my phone I'd rather be playing something else, you know? I grew up with video games but I suppose I just don't need my cards to be that.

Yea fair enough Jantz. Just because I don't get it doesn't mean others can't enjoy it. I will save my money for cards that actually exist though.

Edit: I don't get bitcoins either but someone certainly made a lot of money off of them.
