Physical items are a sort of memory totem. Why is that so bad?Ĭlick to expand.I think you have the right of it. I gave it to a coworker and he has it displayed at his house. I had that because I wanted both the grey and the white Sega Saturn. I realize my wife wouldn't do this, but what if she decides it all needs to go? She doesn't, but she wanted me to get rid of my Japanese Sega Saturn. Its because I want to have a library and not worry about something happening to me (where I live). This is a reason to why I'm mainly into buying digital games. Just because someone gets rid of everything doesn't mean they've given up either, so don't misunderstand what I'm saying. You're misplacing this desire to point out ownership of a physical object. ![]() ![]() If you see a group of games and say "that person is a hoarder" then you're misunderstanding the reason to owning video games IMO. Even so, if I were to hold a game in my hand that I forgot I owned then it may come at a surprise or its part of the reason to why I enjoy video games period. My consoles don't smell and I can still remember why I purchased the game I forgot I owned. I do play my games and even if I didn't, people don't throw away the movies they watched if its their favorite film, their favorite books, or a collection of CD's they keep in their car just because they aren't listening to that CD. She explained to me that since it didn't work I was a hoarder because I kept broken items that had no worth. She read Marie Kondo's book about getting rid of stuff that didn't have any meaning. When I first moved in with my wife she thought I was a hoarder because I kept a grey Sega Saturn that had a broken spindle.
