The answer to your question is,... NO!

Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:

Thanks for everyone's opinions/suggestions.
I'm still on the fence.
As posters pointed out, the deprecation of AP games - fair/justified/sensible or not - is rather steep. If the company were to fold, I can see my HW struggling to bring even $5K.
Many of you suggest I just buy what I like now and worry less, but I've taken a real bath on the majority of my games - all DMD Sterns - when selling. I envy all the collectors who claim to juggle all these games and accumulate minimal losses.
