Why would you buy game items if you don’t want to actually open the game

A key feature here seems to be the ability to create wishlists and gift to friends. So, if you play Marvel Rivals and want a skin, a friend who you have on Discord but doesn’t play Marvel Rivals at all could buy it for you as a gift. Kinda cool, actually. I have many friends on Discord but don’t necessarily play all the same games as them.
