I'm a collector, and this is a game that may have a high value in the future due to being rare. If it was literally only available for 2 weeks and they pulled all the remaining copies and refunded people, there's not going to be many, and I will have a sealed copy. Of course, it's possible that they may re-release it in the future if they decide it's worth the money to tweak it, but I honestly kind of doubt it. You may be wondering why it matters if it literally can't be played and who would want it, and that's absolutely a fair question, but in the end, the answer is collectors.
Don't think of it as a pyramid scheme, think of it as a pyramid team!
Have noticed any trend in how “collectible” something is with the introduction of “online/periodic patches”. I always wondered since there seems to be a lot of software at different versions gluing everything together vs what used to be the standard before (console software was for the most part finalized at launch).
I haven't really noticed anything in that regard. I've also been curious about the collectibility of physical copies of online only games. If the game is no longer playable, is there actually any value? I feel like things are a little too early to say at this point, but given how rare this title will seemingly be, I'm hedging my bets.
