Considering how many games I own, they don't really take up too much space. I have them all in like 5-6 boxes, neatly packed and put away somewhere where they are not in the way, but I can access them easily. I love owning physical copies, because I can play them anytime I want. You said it in the very first few sentences, questioning whether newer games/digital ones will work in 10 years time, which is why I love physical copies. |
I have boxes full of games too, and now and then I like to put in the an old burnout game or ssx. For pc I don't really bother since it's usually more trouble getting it to run then it is worth. That is slowly starting to be the same with console games. It's not pop in an older game and play anymore. You first have to re-install game data and download patches. Steam seems a good solution for me for pc games, although I'm also worried how long steam support will last. I hope longer then my 3.5" floppies :)
I guess I don't value new games as much anymore as I used to. It's the opposite with my movie collection. I would never sell any of them even though I rarely take the time to watch an old movie. At least I know they will always work exactly the same as when I last saw them.
