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?

I don't collect anymore. I do still have a small amount of stuff that I enjoy but overall it's too expensive, not enough space, unreliable media etc...
