Does collecting make sense? (lemmy.world)

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?

Yup. And when returning them to the case DO NOT spin them so they are "right side up".

Any dust or grit in the case will damage them when you do that.
