    “Virtual” and “collectable” are two words that don’t belong in the same sentence unless it’s, “Online collectibles are virtually worthless.”

      Virtual data on the internet that currently we take granted for could cease to exist later on, so collecting these data is not worthless at all. There exists many lost media even in the age of internet.

      With that said, collectibles that only takes a server to mark “you have it” truly are worthless.

      And yet nearly every game released on mobile is sells virtual collectibles, all kept in a server that will eventually go down.
