It's hard for me to identify with them because it's just not very smart to pay money for that kind of crap. I don't buy stuff that can be taken away like that. It is true that nothing lasts forever, but digital doo-dads only last as long as the web site you bought them on. I hope they learned their lesson. I doubt they did. People pay for this stuff every day on web sites. Cosmetic stuff for avatars, special edition avatars, little award thingies, blah blah blah. It's all a waste. It's very easy for people to say, "eh, it's only a dollar" or "eh, it's only 50 cents" or "meh, it's only 5 bucks" but if you repeatedly spend money on those things it adds up. So, do I feel bad for these outraged people? No, I don't. They should smarten up and stop wasting money.
