Fifteen years ago I spent my youth on a pokemon/club penguin clone about dinosaurs. It doesn't exist anymore anywhere. It had an active BBS and community and gameplay/lore and all sorts of cool stuff, then it suddenly got turned into a phone app with different/worse gameplay and then it quietly died. The original domain with the forum is $4000. A handful of videos on youtube and whatever memories the players have is all that's left of it. I think I can understand the emotional pain from seeing something you enjoyed have its plug pulled, but ultimately it is a game.

The lesson isn't to never enjoy anything you don't directly own or whatever, it's about being able to let go of things you once enjoyed as a child, cherish what you got from it and accept your lack of control over them; Harry Potter is getting an HBO reboot, I loved those books as a kid. I'm not emotionally invested in Harry Potter anymore so I don't care if Snape is a nigger. You shouldn't be twenty-something and pulling your hair out because Roblox had a bunch of community levels deleted. It's like getting upset because Happy Wheels knife-throw levels from 2012 got wiped.

I'm not saying it doesn't matter or shouldn't matter to you, but that ultimately you should have gotten something more important from it - lessons, connections with other people, memories. Assuming it would (or could) last forever was a mistake. Sometimes you get closure, sometimes you simply don't.

What do those amounts of numbers do to a man?
Would I even want to know?
