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?

    I own a lot of systems and games and, well, you have a point. Gaming on an original device is really nice, but everybody should really think hard about just buying some flash drives for their favorite systems. Games are mass produced. Nothing artsy there. Just mass produced entertainment. A CD-Rom with some nice prints on there. A plastic shell with a sticker. A box. Nice to look at and if you can get them cheap, buy them. But there is no reason to spend hundreds of dollars to buy that one game from some scalper.
