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?
It’s an opportunity cost thing. You could sell them and get some money from it. Do you like having those games and the thought of playing them? Or the idea of collecting one more? Or would you get more enjoyment or use out of the money you would get?
