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?

Well. Look for older games like Metal Gear Solid or FF7. They still work.

Could it be that you speak about an expected failure rate?
