You’re still missing the point entirely. The purpose of a car is to take you from a to b. If you don’t need that service, you don’t need a car at all, and if you don’t need a car it’s doubly true you don’t need a virtual car even if it is cheaper. It’s not real they’re selling a fantasy. You’re trading a real burger for a photo of a burger. You can’t eat that.

> The purpose of a car is to take you from a to b. If you don’t need that service, you don’t need a car at all It would take like 2 hours to walk across the GTA V map on foot north to south. > and if you don’t need a car it’s doubly true you don’t need a virtual car even if it is cheaper Wait, are you saying if I don't need a car in reality, I don't need a car in a game? I'm not the Hero of Time, so I guess I don't need any weapons when playing Zelda. I'm not a soldier, so I don't need guns in Battlefield.

Fantasy is a popular product for many reasons, especially for those who have inner fantasy response. Too bad you seem to completely lack one. Personally I’d fall into a heavy depression if the only thing I could enjoy about X was its physical property.
