Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless.::NFTs had a huge bull run two years ago, with billions of dollars per month in trading volume, but now most have crashed to zero, a study found.

Why did you even buy them though? Surely you could have just downloaded them for free?

Because they are tied into the game. The NFTs contain information about the game asset. And a lot of the NFTs weren't bought, they were generated from aspects of the game. I don't know how else to explain it, without detailing the entire game or subset of games this falls into.

I will say, that I am lucky, picked a good project and didn't spend too much.
