Also, the hardcore players will absolutely buy it twice only to Animal Crossing Bells have multiple islands. I purchased ACNL twice (one physical, one digital) for this reason and that I now have electronic ACNH and'm considering picking up a physical backup only for a fuck-around island.
I purchased it because of the hype. That is famous to say, but the game is so boring. After you receive your three of four important buildings done and a handful of island residents, all you have to do is gather materials and craft materials in a work bench. Or you may purchase items at the general store. Like I can't even spend a complete hour on the match at one time.
That said, I really do think it's an amazing game but I would not have put so much time to it when I was not playing with friends and Animal Crossing Items For Sale family. During the pandemic, we'd get on and enjoy each others company, Chat about what fish we got, any trendy items we had in the store, trade and gift items to each other etc..
