I have CDs from the early 90s, boxed PC games from the early 90s. My PS1 games etc. and not a single one of them has any disc rot and all work perfectly fine

Disc rot is a myth perpetuated by Gamepass fanboys

Conversely, I have a couple smallish shelves full of hundreds of games that collectively are worth over $20k. If I had them digitally instead, they'd be worth 0. I wouldn't necessarily sell the lot but it's nice to have some extra equity in case of an emergency and/or to pass onto my kids.

The space-to-value proposition for video games is actually pretty good, I'd say. A few of these are worth their weight in gold.

My equity is 74 shares of the Facebook IPO from 2012 it does not take up any room either

Also I do have 500 physical games, but they are all retro

NES/Genesis, DS, 3DS, PS1,PS2, and some 360.

But seldom buy anymore, I want a curated collection and not just a complete to complete one.

No real desire to own 8th gen and up games physically.

So many Shinobi die-hard fans here.

One of them will make an OT, right?
