    Its great to collect games but you will just have to take what you will play. I dont rush to purchase any game i would normally research and find out more about it

      That's a good approach, saves a lot of money and headache

    Selling my entire retro game collection was one of the best things ive ever done. i play so many more games now via emulation, and they look + run so much better.
    I get the appeal of game collecting, but it's no fun anymore with such high prices.

      It is very tempting, but too many memories in my physical game collection, but I want to get into emulation just because for of the ease of use

      Yeah I'm looking forward to the new season, got some changes I'll be implementing to make it more sustainable

    Mostly for me, I collect games from the current generation, and for retro games I have other means.
    There is still Fomo, but as long as I stick to games I'm sure to like, it won't be as bad imo.

      Yeah, something I have been doing recently, just been playing modern releases and not worrying too much about the retro scene.
      Hopefully one day I'll be able to purchase those retro games, but if it doesn't happen, I always have emulation to be able to experience them.

    Also i find i have to keep all the high value games i find even though some I've never heard of or have no interest in. Not sure why?. Is it because i was lucky to find it and wont find another. Or am i scared the value will go up and ill miss out. Things i never cared about before i started collecting. Messes with your head man. 😂

      Yeah it's hard to pass up on high value games, especially if you get them for cheap at the car boot

    Just buy new game when you finish game and put some limit of money for that hobby for example 100$/months.

    99% of the game is trash 🗑️🚮.So why you want that trust in your room?You probably newer will be play that trash and money which you spend for tham you can spend for trips or for your financial stability in future.
