I didn't say you shouldn't be allowed to do that, or that you should do something else with your money...
But I still think it's a bit stupid.
You got the games now, why not play them ?
And Mokum, I do not think some collectors don't play their games because they don't have enough time for that.
They'd just rather spend their time cleaning their games and making sure they're all perfect looking, or something. ¬_¬
I know this is a bit stereotyped, and that collectors don't do that everyday (I HOPE so at least)... But hmmm...
If collectors are afraid of damaging their games, or scratching them etc, maybe they could play their games on emulators ?
This way they could enjoy their games and not make their collection "decay" (*ahem*)... ¬_¬
Although I think playing games on a computer is less enjoyable than playing the real thing... Be it just for pads and because emulation is not always perfect...
Now that I mentioned emulation, I guess tooshort will be tempted to call me a pirate or something, but that doesn't bother me.
