I’m looking at your collection and I hope I get pinned out before it hits the high 20’s. I’m nearing 10 and I find it difficult to play each game on a weekly basis. It gets to be a huge investment and time consuming to justify the cost. Maybe the games from Deep Root will revitalize you. I’m at the younger end of the spectrum of collectors and I’m much more interested in newer titles coming than past titles. I know that’s heresy around here but I get the new COD each year and never play the old games as the new ones come , the thought of a Multicade seems great but I see tons of them up on Craigslist and EBay used.
I like the idea of nostalgia but at the end of the day I prefer innovation.
On the contrary, The difficulty of pinball does keep them fresh and wizard modes that most of us will never see keep us playing.
The other thing I’d mention is how many games that are being released and that increase is definitely a factor. No one with a PS4 thinks they have to play every game or no one with a Netflix subscription thinks they have to watch every program. At least we are getting to a place where we can be picky and it will eventually alter the secondary market.
