@DanijoEX-the-Pierrot while I totally agree with you, that would have drove the price of the console up quite a bit, potentially affecting their goal of having a larger installed user base.
This has a Return of the Living Dead vibe where the zombie got on the ambulance radio and said "send more paramedics" his buyers are listening to the zombie and sending more money....
@OldManHermit thanks! That's my intent. Between having a car hobby (just one that's a hobby really, I'm fortunate enough to have an older daily driver to actually be able to work on the hobby car when I get time and have the money to throw at it) I'm just kind of worn out with the retro market conditions. I still have all the love for the games that I did back in the day, but being in my mid forties at this point, focus has changed and needs versus wants. Don't get me wrong, I have a ton of wants but not much if any is justifiable if it's not going towards a better life for me and those in my family who I love and care about more than I do a hobby. 😊
@OldManHermit I'm ready to just sell most of my stuff and rely on emulation. As much as I am a purist that prefers to play on original hardware, speculation and scalpers have ruined it for me. I can honestly use the money to put a down payment on a single family home when I do that, which shouldn't even be a thing, but I've been collecting since I was 13 years old which is a little over 30 years ago. It's a functional collection too when I have time to play it. I'm going to do my best to make sure that whomever I sell my stuff to actually isn't a scalper but I kind of am done with collecting with market being so toxic and I could use the space buying a house for my dogs and rest of my family...
