Why aren't you a mint in box collector, /vr/?

>> No.7048541

Every game I own is mint in box and I am the original owner. I didn’t get some hand me down unwanted used shit.

So you never threw one away throughout childhood? Impressive.

Because I buy vidya to play, not to showcase.
A loose cart-only copy of Bomberman Hero plays exactly the same as a brand-new sealed copy.

Too expensive although whenever I buy a Genesis game I pony up the extra couple bucks for the clamshell since most of the time it's not that much more extra.

Yup. They were trolls who relied on the slow board originally to force their memes and now they're trying even harder. It's just a bunch of kids talking about youtube though really.

Linneman needs take chill pills, FFS. How does he even have the mental focus to stay up on the tech stuff if he's constantly fussing over everything. Can't he just be content with a cushy DF job and then relax after?

Becaws its fake news. I didn't carefully unbox my games as a child, trying to not crease the tab flaps or dull the box corners. My games are my own, the stuff I grew up with. Not stored copies from ebay I bought as an adult to pretend I was avgn.

There is an age range for retro collectors, and as those people get older they will not be replaced by a younger generation. Kids today aren't gonna be buying PC Engine carts for thousands of dollars when they grow up. They just won't care.

>> No.7049398

A lot of classic novels are in the public domain
Films are available in tons of different formats, so is music
As for the popular and interactive media, flash carts are cheap and you can emulate most of the stuff easily enough

For me it depends on the platform. Most games I prefer to have CIB but for Fami and Sufami I've no problem being cartridge only... Oddly enough I still prefer my FDS games to be CIB, but there's just handful of those I really want on the system, so it's no big investment.

>collector
a brainwashing term used by the digital distribution industry to imply the only reason physical copies exist is for "collectors"
Games being sold physical only has proven itself to be the best environment for great games to be made. You should want games to be sold physical only even if you exclusively pirate because you'll still be able to pirate but the games will be better.
Paid digital distribution has created the environment for disgusting business tactics such as early access aka paying to test a game when devs used to have to pay people to test their game, having to go through some console wannabe client to legally play games on PC, rampant DLC, micro transactions, intentionally releasing unfinished/buggy games to the point of being unplayable since they can just be easily patched later which only further encourages games to be released that way, normalized games being intentionally released unfinished, games as a service which digital distribution inherently is, being expected to give glorified donations to companies, making games even more popular from easy access to people who otherwise wouldn't play or play as much thus making them a huge market which makes companies make games focused on them instead of actual gamers, lowered the barrier for entry, making games more expensive than ever when everything is taken into consideration, console wannabe platforms on PC, console wannabe platforms being the only way to legally play new games on PC, etc.
The more popular digital distribution gets, the worse gaming becomes. It would be even worse but the industry is degenerating from games being sold physical only, if it had to degenerate from games being sold digital only then it would be far far worse because it would be degenerating from a much lower starting point and none of the great games in the 90s and early 00s would have ever been made so you wouldn't be able to play those instead either

Based, reminder to pirate everything even if you can afford not to.
