Well if it is, I sure am glad I sold most of my stuff off to get a beach condominium.

But I would say YES for the following reason - I think remakes will be the killer. What kept this hobby growing was the quest for that sweet original limited MM, AFM, CC, .... Then someone comes along and builds a modern version of the game that has huge differences in platform and most don't care anymore which is original and which is a remake. Too few think it matters. To me it does but I sit in the small minority, maybe because I took on the quest 15 years ago to get my MM.

But the new guys in the hobby could care less. So if all the popular titles like MM, CC, MB, AFM, ... get remade, then it will all crash. Remakes will fetch 5/8 of what they sold for new and originals will probably get an extra 1/8 from nib remake prices, and that will only be if they are in nice shape. If not, they will sell for the same price as a used remake or slightly less.

This doesn't even include the flood the market is about to experience.

I am glad I got out.

And that is how the new folks in the hobby have changed it. Guys like me were collectors and players.

Yes. I am not sure where it got lost but I really believe this younger Millennial generation just doesn't respect history, nostalgia, music, their elders, ..... They just want everything cheap or free and they could care less if it is remade, copied, fake, stolen (as in the case with movies and music illegally downloaded from the internet), ..... Last night my girls got a lesson in music history. The You Don't Own Me sampled version with the obligatory rap came on the car radio. I quickly turned it off and pulled up the original version on youtube and played it through the car's audio Bluetooth. My girls, 5 and 8, were amazed how much better it sounded, how classy Leslie Gore was in the video from the sixties, and how what they were hearing on the radio wasn't original. This is what society is evolving into - We will take the old stuff and make it new again because that is what is easiest. But here is an idea - Use your brains to come up with something NEW!!

are you sure about that? i don't remember it that way
