more specifically, it has now been said on the Current Events board of gamefaqs.gamespot.com

It only isn't hoarding if you are actively using them to jerk off on to.

Honestly it makes more sense than the people who still insist on not buying new games digital and opting for physical copies only. For some reason a lot of switch posters are like this like digital is witchcraft

Yes. But it just seems sillier when the main purpose of games was to play.

how do you know these collectors don't play the games?

do you also get angry about people with collections of books, since books are meant to be read?

If you have a room filled with books you dont read: yes.

If you fill a room full of shit you collect and it rots there: yes

And whatever your next example is: yes

Better to rot in a collectors bedroom, than out in the elements where degradation still happens or they are sitting in some bargain bin waiting for no one to give them a good home.

If you want to play old games without that hassle, go grab roms. Some of us, still like physical cartridges. I don't hoard them, but I do still have a set of games that I physically want in my collection. Everything else is either on an everdrive, a retropie, or my future steamdeck.

Except video games have intrinsic and monetary value. Collectors are collectors, TC.

Yeah I'm a bit ticked off that retro shit has gone into the stratosphere price wise.
Every shitty old, yellowed SNES cartridge pretty much shot up to $40. That's not even including the box.

I just accept and embrace emulating now.

Yeah, I used to collect SNES carts years ago, but it's so expensive now >_> It's way more realistic to just emulate everything
