By applying dynamic material hermeneutics, we explore how digital goods, as mediated by technology, acquire distinct value in virtual environments. Our approach integrates postphenomenological theories to analyze how digital objects are perceived and valued differently based on their interaction with technological systems. The study reveals that the concept of alterity, as discussed in postphenomenology, plays a crucial role in understanding digital goods' unique value propositions. This research highlights the interplay between technological mediation and material dynamics in shaping digital value, offering insights into how these factors contribute to the perceived significance of digital objects.
