Digital collectibles / NFTs on Instagram are winding down

Many people buy games, books, even music and movies with the “I’m interested and will get to it someday”.

It’s more rare for someone to explicitly buy something with the firm intention never to play it (and usually that is a second copy they want to keep pristine).

Most of my unplayed steam games are that - oh, $5? I’ve heard of that and want to play it someday, I’ll grab it now.

I mean, that’s my justification too, but let’s be honest, I won’t ever have the time or energy to properly play half of the things I buy, and I’d save a lot of money if I took that into account before I bought them.

Yeah - I spent only $5 on morrowind on steam and just started playing finally (on Xbox where I paid $15 for it).
