>>11408515At least OP’s example is a physical toy that you either have the rare copy of or not at all, it actually is scarce. Nintendies and others who insist on spending ridiculous amounts on old physical games are retarded. They can be enjoyed just as well (and often better) in emulation, which is literally free, and is available to anyone with even a basic pc for the old cartridge consoles, and even further beyond that point for a lot of pc users. Fair enough in some cases that the people who reviewed these old games wanted to be as accurate as possible but if you’re playing them just to enjoy them why the fuck would you spend that much time on money for something that is easily found for free
>>11414088In my experience it’s the exact opposite, gamergate people are more likely to be willing to emulate or even pirate games whereas the people who insist on real hardware are often soiboys with their shelves covered by funkopops.
