When you buy a ticket to a movie, a concert, or a theme park, after you're done, you have "nothing" by the argument you're making. Want to ban movies, concerts, and theme parks?

People get value from things that aren't tangible. Many of the most valuable things aren't tangible.

That's not the same. Some people spend thousands of hours and thousands of dollars to level up in some games, they have no recourse if the company shut it down.

For a movie you clearly know what you get into.

your conclusion isn't supported by your premise, which seems to be that it matters how much a person spends. Where is the line?
