Hey there,

I had a tech talk about retrogaming on OG Hardware. We ended up with the point that discs, some GBA,(3ds) and Switch games just die and cannot be used anymore.

So i question what is the use in collecting then. Its basically dead money. Its not really a cheap Hobby.

What do you think about it?

    In the age of emulators, original games are no better then NFTs. They are just a pretty thing to look at, and a store of value for however long other people value them.

    I’m mostly being sarcastic, but only mostly. I personally see no value in game collecting. Obviously some people like to hold real games and stick them into real consoles. Me, I just want to play the games.
