Just to give another example, nes and snes game price started to stagnate/ Regress the last few years (at least here in europe) as the the core demographic of rebuyers (20-40yo) started getting older and stopped rekindling their past (We are living in the n64 bubble right now, and gamecube is getting a rise, which will decline again in 10-20 years).
Resellers on onlineshops however buy those games for cheap and artificially raise the price to suggest to the buyer the game has a higher market value. But in contrast to this more and more people are taking alternative routes of playing the games, like nes-mini/ emulation/ vc shops/ reboots/ etc... Which in return drops the demand for the old games even more to a point where the Shops will start going down with the price (for most games) to empty their inventory for more important units (in my example: buy a bunch of skies of arcadia or some shit). Now your smb3 is going for 8 bucks instead of 15 in it's peak phase, but the people who have interest in collecting already own it or moves on.
This will go on for years to come, the first wave of users will slowly die off and with each death the interest (for specifically a cartridge for an old console) will as well. Many will be destroyed in the process, as closing Shops will not care about 1000 snes sports games they got in their storage unit and just burn the batch to the ground. If nobody buys 500 copies of madden, then why preserve them?

And I am only talking about cartridges, those mofo are in comparison to CDs indestructible, which gives even more reason to throw away a CD-based game. Pretty sure a lot of 'math blasters' have seen the dump for instance.

Furthermore, imagine a future where there is a subscription based gaming-stream like Netflix with 0 latency, which normie person would rather buy all the old Technology than just go the path of least resistence and play retro on their modern monitors with a built-in app?
