One of my personal pet peeves is when gamers who has spent a lot of money on microtransactions say that they have "invested" into the game. Bro you haven't invested $10k, you've SPENT $10k on colors in a video game.
You did not buy those assets because you expect them to go up in value later and sell it. You PURCHASED multiple small products in a video game that will be shut down at some point for the grand total of $10k
