Hey there,

I had a tech talk about retrogaming on OG Hardware. We ended up with the point that discs, some GBA,(3ds) and Switch games just die and cannot be used anymore.

So i question what is the use in collecting then. Its basically dead money. Its not really a cheap Hobby.

What do you think about it?

    It amuses me that something so modern as video games already has the problem of fading into oblivion. Maybe that’s why it’s so compelling, because the foundations are still in living memory?

    Anyway in the museum, a disk that cannot be read is an artifact just as the plane that cannot fly.
