@Strider Great piece! I enjoyed reading this while I ate breakfast and prepared for the morning ahead. I wasn't aware of any of this info, so I found it very informative and fun.

I can definitely understand where this guy is coming from. And it is definitely different when you are surrounded by gaming all day at work. I used to have 200 or so games from various platforms, some very well-maintained (Duck Tales sealed, Earthbound even with unused scratch n sniff), but I sold them all years back when I moved to another state and got a great opportunity at work. I wasn't playing them, I couldn't see them being lugged around anymore just to have, so I used it like an investment and sold the assets. I still play games a couple hours each day, and wake up early on the weekends to get time in before the demands of life come at me. I'm just far more picky about how much time I have, and how much I'll pay to entertain that time.
