You better believe I'd be pissed. I was pretty tempted to actually pick one of those games up until my daughter pointed out that disclaimer. I was certainly gobsmacked by that. I might have been a little less so if maybe they had a PDF link where you could print out the cards or models to 3D print replacements. It could have even softened the blow if they said all pieces were made with 100% recycled and biodegradable pieces. The business models today are getting shittier and shittier - either it's enshittification, shrinkflation, single use and toss it, or subscription based. This is not the future 25 year old me had envisioned...
25 year-old me imagined accumulating a huge music and movie library and going to concerts for many years to come and eventually dying in a mosh pit or something...
(or getting crushed against the railing at the front of an AC/DC concert...)

I imagined that I would have been more of a ski-bum and trying to finagle a way to buy a slopeside townhouse. The two things 25-year old me almost had was the Lotus Esprit Turbo and the townhouse at Jay Peak, but had to be more responsible instead...
(only a decade and a half later when I told the wife I was pretty close to buying the Lotus, she said "You should have" - d'oh!)
