I was over at DP a few days ago, going through the forums like so many of us do, when I stumbled over a thread about a new forum for sealed game collectors.  While I don't understand the appeal of it, it's not my collection why should I care?  What amazed me, as it always amazes me, is that a community of people who collect video games would lash out at a smaller niche group of people who collect sealed video games.

The thing that really pissed me off about it was the arguements against it and the attmepts to make people collect the way others do.  I personally collect more nintendo stuff than sega, sony, or other stuff, but I don't try to tell people who want to collect genny games that what they do is dumb and that they should collect NES instead.  Why do people who collect a certain way, albeit out of the norm, get chastised for what they do?

I don't care how people collect either. I do think they are strange for getting enjoyment over a game that they can't open up and play.

Welcome to the RFGen blogs, by the way.
 
Gooood, gooooood. Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you.

*cackles maniacally*
 
Good, valid points.

This is one reason that I tend to avoid certain areas on the internets. People tend to annoy me.
 
I love seeing the different things people collect.

I love to pick up obscure or demos, displays, lesser known games/systems, etc.

Since sometimes they are things many people will not see very often and it adds a degree of uniqueness to your collection.
 
Oh yeah, I went to there web site. I could not care less. I buy my games to play them, but if someone wants to collect just to have that shiny wrap over the games, then more power to them.
