I'm confused on why people are paying so much money for Monopoly.

Maybe they should play some Monopoly to learn a lesson about capitalism.

lmao usually you stop playing monopoly when you see that you are losing a lot of money, but people here lose money and is still playing

Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

Only legislation will fix this.

If it’s only the digital revenue, that’s not too surprising. What other digital revenue stream do they have?

Magic the Gathering: Arena probably makes up the rest. I suppose MTGO still pulls in some revenue as well, but not sure how much.
