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?

At my first job at an ad agency we stored everything on DVD-Rs. A regular task for me was to copy old discs to new discs because they would rot after a while. It was all very stupid.

But those were rewritable discs. Regular ones will live for a long time before showing any signs of rot, if stored properly.
