>They ain't ruining it for you bro, you essentially have an eternal emergency fund thanks to them
If you really see this shit as any kind of investment I question your age or poverty levels. Because that is the stupidest reason to be happy for this shit, the best emergency fund is to just be frugal and save with your money, you don't have to find a buyer or worry about the market crashing. There is nothing "eternal" about it.

>but all the 90s kids have disposable income
Data is showing the flip really, the 80s kids which are basically done retro collecting were the last real generation that had the success stories of moving out at age 18 and being a house owner with a wife and 2.5 kids before 25. Most late 20 somethings I see fit the media narrative: single, poor and usually still living with family.

>Never understood /vr/'s constant whinging about this
because it poisons the well, we get idiots like you that think it should be treated like an investment, we get retards that horde for the sake of hording in greater number, we get a sea of people that praise rare games but when you pick at why they like them you discover they know nothing about it, they just own a copy. Hell that logic is why collector/emulation shitposting works so well here, it have no legs if their weren't idiots wanting rare games because of "investment" value. You think that house fire thread would have gotten 400 replies if the most pricey retro game out there was $30?
