My friend and I collect old video games. But all my physical media just sits on my shelves and collects dust. Why do I even collect them? I literally just emulate everything. Is there a purpose to what I do? People ask me why I collect and I never have a real answer because I don’t even know. If I never play my stuff, is it worth just selling?
If they just sit around and you don’t play them, I’d probably just sell them. Emulating is so much more convenient.
But who cares what I’d do? Your life is your own. If collecting retro games brings you joy, then go for it.
I’ve considered selling because I’d be able to pay my car off for good and not have a $350 monthly payment so there’s that
If you still have enough of an interest that you might start collecting again I wouldn’t sell.
It will be hard and even more expensive to rebuild a second time.
