Superfan Spends $240 on Thousands of Defunct Alan Wake Game Cards out of Love for the Series
• A fan named Alisa bought 4,000 Alan Wake game download cards for $240 on eBay, even though none of them work as they were never activated.
• Alisa loves the Alan Wake games and Remedy's style of storytelling, calling them "geniuses." She is making a fan video inspired by Alan Wake 2.
• The cards likely originated from a now-closed game store that had too many leftover. They arrived in 2 heavy boxes weighing 50kg total.
• Alisa tried activating some cards but Microsoft said they were never activated by the store and are over 10 years old.
• Alisa bought so many as "it's funny" and plans to decorate her room with the cards out of pure fandom love for Alan Wake.
