Kuchera brings up some good points in this article (link is at the end of this post).
>The games weren’t bringing me joy; they were just ghosts trapped inside jewel cases. The collection was a weight I was dragging from house to house, and opening a bin only to find boxed NES games always felt like metal poured into my gut. These games made me picture a young woman wanting to hug me when I was hurting, then deciding not to. The games were bottles of expensive, and then cheap, scotch in the garbage, double-bagged so the neighbors wouldn’t see how bad it was getting.
Collecting games is unhealthy.
>The replacement collection, about 450 games deep when I stopped looking for the classics, was carried from house to house as I grew older. One day, short on money to buy a certain Nintendo Switch game, I took down a few Super Nintendo games hoping to trade them in. It turned out that GameStop was giving $33 for R-Type 3.
As you can see here, selling games is a way to recoup the loss and enjoy new titles. This way, Ben, who is busy with his mortage and education fund for his children, can afford the new Zelda.
What are your thoughts on collecting games? Do you agree that it is unhealthy? If you think differently, explain.

Huh? This has little to do with his hobby and more the fact that Ben Kuchera is a cuck. Also it should be noted that its fucking weird to get that in detail about an ex while writing about videogames

Why is he going on about his ex girlfriend like that
No wonder she walked out
I love Ben, he's a guy that actually has a message when he writes.

Do the world a favor and kill yourself Ben

Uh oh, you're really asking for /v/ to prove what a hivemind it isn't with a post like that

>>383949405
Any collection looks well when you frame it nice
>>383951898
Hahahahaha
collecting something you like is healthy
collecting something you don't like is unhealthy
so in kuchera's case, collecting games is unhealthy
