In what universe would you want an aesthetic item later more than you do now? Fear of missing out seems to be more experiential or with regards to items that may turn out to be have more utility in the future in my opinion.
- alpaca128 5y agoDo you really know whether you like an album after listening to a song once? Enough to buy it? Maybe, maybe not. What if you had to decide today, and might never be able to listen to that album again if you don't buy it? You might regret it later... That's the kind of manipulation we see in some games. I don't think this should be considered normal. The same applies to Nintendo's Switch games that were only available for purchase for a short time after release, with Nintendo not saying whether those games will ever be available again [0]. We all know that a lot of people bought those games just in case, and that's the intention.

- oneoff786 5y agoThe outdated mess of buying music aside… no? I don’t think so. It’s pretty much never once happened that I thought “I wish I had bought that” aside from literal investments which is a different beast entirely. Most unowned things have less appeal to you when they’re no longer new and shiny.
