Yeah that's a good distinction actually. Nobody blames Blizzard when someone buys a WoW account and then a class gets nerfed. But the second there's an official token involved, suddenly you're personally responsible for everyone's portfolio. Tokens flip the whole perception.
The write-off mentality is probably the healthiest way to approach any of this honestly. Treat it like entertainment spending, not investing. If more people came in with that mindset the whole space would be way less toxic.
