Because it's a cult.
Owning a fraction of a dying business is not a cheat code for more money.
for a shit company no less. a really shitty company.
Honestly, I can't even get excited about them, negatively. They were always sort of mediocre. I preferred Electronics Boutique. But they weren't doing great, they're not getting better, and OP's straight-up eager to throw in good money after bad.
This is what successful scams look like... except there'd be someone taking the money. Instead, it's a craze that refuses to end. Most crazes peter out as it becomes clear the initial high price was irrational, the peak was caused entirely by runaway speculation, and everything's returning to the mean. People with a pile of tulip bulbs or comic books or commemorative plates just have to sigh and figure out where to put 'em. But our modern hellscape lets people make the Earth being flat their entire personality and social group, so surprise surprise, cargo cults emerge over wiggly lines.
One time they saw a guy in a tower talk into a box, and a whole goddamn airplane appeared out of the sky, so they're up in a tree talking to boxes all day every day. Your face is gonna be so red when their airplane comes.
Yes, I can see that, very clearly.
"Your obsession over this thing is bad" does not mean "this thing is bad."
