That happened to me with a virtual puppy on a game off of Facebook when Facebook first started becoming popular. It wanted to install something in order for the game to run (after I had already created said virtual dog) and at the time I was living with my parents and they didn't want that installed on the shared computer so instead my dog starved to death as I couldn't access the game properly without that installed. My partner and I did in more recent years find a tamagotchi in one of those things in the shops that you put coins in to get a toy / keychain etc in a ball out of, and regretted it. It was nostalgic at first because it was a real tamagotchi and I thought it was cool to see one of them again, then it was annoying and beeped all night and then died by the morning and wasn't really as much fun as I thought it was as a kid so we let it die overnight yet again and then never reset it.
