If you don't see value in people being able to use several decade old physical media but consider yourself a "collector" you are perpetuating the same hellscape reddit is causing.Well I just think it's ridiculous since it's not like anyone actually really needs retro gaming stuff and I'm saying this as a collector myself. Not only that, they're people who play video games that are like twenty years old at a minimum.
EDIT: I think I should be REALLY fucking clear here by "value" I am not talking about the same "value" people that squat on 30 year old hardware without any intent to ever use or repair it if it fucks up talk about. It's fucking GOOD to be able to own your own actual shit and have a physical thing you can just plug in somewhere and have it work the way it's supposed to. Every company keeps changing shit to sub service and rotating libraries as the only "legal" way to get shit so buying used copies of plentiful mass produced stuff from decades back and having it still work is a legitimately good alternative. Piracy works for some stuff, but there's certain shit emulators can't properly get right. People make ROMS to put on custom cartridges to play on old shit when worst comes to worst with some games, it's stupid to act like having your own shit and using it is a dumb/bad Idea.
