My parents refuse to buy me anything virtual, because it isn't real and cannot be touched. This means I either have to pay my own money or earn my bread by creating games and selling gamepasses.

For starters, the freemium model (get the basic stuff for free, pay real money for the advanced and cool stuff) has a long history. (Anyone remember Club Penguin and its tricky membership?) It's pretty much a way for free games to earn their bread and profit.

Many times in the past, I have urged to pay some money on Builder's Club and Robux, because I want to have access to more features and "look cool". I wear almost free items, I have to make money off gamepasses (and the profit NBCs get are small), and many game developers I see have OBC.

However, Builder's Club and Robux does nothing to your real life (other than decrease your money) and only adds polish and touch to your virtual life. I'm wondering if it's worth to place my bucks on intangible virtual items.
