it's like a 200mb game, who cares if it's physical or not... oh wait, then you can't "display" the game on M-MUH GAMER SHELF!!!!

>oh wait, then you can't "display" the game on M-MUH GAMER SHELF!!!!
Yes? And? That is like half the reason many people buy games instead of just pirating them. If anything, collecting is a more legitimate and widely recognised hobby than gaming.

Which 2 games?

>>387356975
Raiden V and Seiken Densetsu Collection

It's a damn shame that RV is single-player only, given that its 360 prequel supported 2-player mode.

>>387357203
Fuck me, I immediately thought you were talking about my 2 weeb games in the pic.

One game is Order of War: Challenge, and some other game in Sweden or something that was shilled on here a week or-so ago.

Collecting is probably the shittiest hobby out there.

>>387356263
By the time they do that shit it'll be emulatable. I have a lot of fairly rare old games in storage, but when I want to play them I emulate them and I'll probably sell them all in the near future.

>>387353981
It doesn't get a physical on anything, why is it a problem that switch didn't

Said the poorfag.

>>387357439
I just checked it, only very few have gotten a refund, supposedly.
You would have to argue with the steam support, trying to explain your situation and dragging the conversation about a refund, until they're sick of you and just give you the money back.

I know that Steam has every right to your account, but afaik they have never done this before, in the past.
It would always only be about removing the game from the store, not the library.

>>387354702
Collecting is what you do when you don't have a real hobby.

>>387358073
That's exactly why it's so shitty. 95% of hobbies involve doing something. Collecting is just buying shit and putting it on a shelf to take up space doing nothing. Camping is a great hobby, working out is a great hobby, reading is a great hobby. Collecting is going on ebay and clicking a button.

>>387358060
It's literally the same these days with physical copies too you fucking mong.

>>387358271
If you earnestly think that then you don't know what collecting is. Collecting is a hobby that predates recorded history.

>>387358374
I really don't give a fuck man. Buying a shelf and putting your games and toys on it is an absolute bottom tier hobby. It also has no real reflection on you other than what you're willing to spend money on.

>>387353981
>FoTM

>>387358483
Maybe you'll understand better when you grow up and stop generalising things.

>>387358591
Probably not though. It's just buying things to look at them. It's the same shit as women filling the house full of knick knacks. I hate that shit, just a waste of space.

>>387358678
>It's just buying things to look at them
No it isn't.

It's acquiring things to appreciate them. The form which appreciation takes is also not limited to "looking at them".

>>387358678
>Haha so you just kick a ball around a field, what a shit hobby
>Haha so you just push buttons all day and make the little man move, what a shit hobby
>Haha so you just eat food, what a shit hobby

>>387358768
Look man, if it brings you piece of mind to have all your junk on a shelf more power to you. But I'll never put that on the same level as a hobby like fitness or something. Maybe you do that too though. I just think collecting is a bottom of the barrel hobby.

>>387358931
That "junk on my shelf" is worth more than your entire family and it will be there long after Steam is gone and Nintendo's servers die.

>>387358768
But what you're buying and appreciating are kids toys.

>>387358906
How is eating a hobby? But at least with the other three you gain some sort of knowledge and experience. Buying something and putting it on a shelf is crap. If you were building models and putting them on a shelf that would be better.

>>387359009
Wow, someone is sensitive.
>and it will be there long after Steam is gone and Nintendo's servers die.
Don't know about Nintendo, but good luck keeping up with Steam, which will exist for at least a century.
CD rot will affect your games long before Steam will shut down.

>>387359190
>knowledge and experience
>video games

hahahaha

>>387359009
I really doubt that. But I own a single game that's probably worth a decent amount of your collection and it's in a box in storage not taking up valuable space.

>>387359092
Generalisation.

>>387359190
>How is being a gourmet a hobby

>>387359206
Dic rot only affects mishandled discs. Discs don't just rot by magic you fucking retard.

>>387359218
Video games objectively have an impact on your motor skills. Remember I've said that building models is a more valuable hobby than collecting shit. I'm not setting the bar super high here.

>>387359319
Fine, I'll even give you eating. At least it's doing something and experiencing something.

>>387359390
>I'll give you
I don't think you understood my post at all. Collecting is a hobby that has academic pull, coin collecting is called the king of hobbies, Museums engage in Academic collecting not only or the purpose of "looking at the pretty things" but for preserving them and learning about them. Collecting is a better hobby than any of your shit hobbies and the entire world and history agrees with me.

>>387359615
Dude don't compare what you're doing with archaeology. That would be like me comparing the baby workouts I do with the olympics and saying that my hobby is the most noble thing in the world and brings nations together.

You buy shit and put it on a shelf. Probably didn't even build the shelf yourself.

>>387359319
>Dic rot only affects mishandled discs.

Keep telling yourself that, your discs will never outlive Steam, but they will most likely outlive your old ass, so it shouldn't matter to you, anyway.

>>387359717
If your hobby is working out then it is in fact the same hobby athletes possess, its not my fault you are insecure about that. Level of proficiency is also a none issue.

>>387359768
Thinking Steam will last a century is perhaps the most retarded thing I've heard all day. Steam won't be around in 15 years.

No, it won't because it will run out of steam. There are barely 15 years worth of good games left to make.

>>387359853
Local workout are not the same as the Olympics. And buying a game at gamestop and putting it on a shelf is not the same as archeology.

>>387356263
Steam only ever takes games off the store, if you have a CD key for a game tied to your steam account you can still download it even if its been removed from the store

>>387360379
>Because I say so
I can and have had interesting conversations with fellow collectors of many different interests. Your move. I like how you're just assuming I only collect video games too.

>>387360575
Because society says so. Go tell someone you're an archeologist then tell them you collect coins or whatever. They'll laugh in your face.

>>387360635
>I speak for society
No you don't. Claiming somebody doesn't play tennis because they aren't Andy Murray is fucking retarded. You have actual shit for brains.

>>387360635
>coins
That's a really bad example, people might confuse it with coins throughout Ancient to Victorian times.

>>387358290
Except it's not since you can still play the game at any point without needing online at all.

>>387360772
You're not an archeologist because you collect games or toys or whatever it is you collect. I'm sorry dude. You have to get an education and a job to call yourself an archeologist.

>>387360781
I doubt it, if someone says they collect coins you just assume they're a retired dude that forgot to develop a personality.

>>387360907
You don't need a constant online connection to Steam, if you want to play Steam games.
Once you have installed the Steam service, installed the game through Steam and logged on at least once, you can start Steam in offline mode anytime you want, as your acc data has been stored locally (afaik).

>>387360991
I never claimed to be an archaeologist you fucking sped.

>>387361163
You drew strong parallels between legitimate academia and whatever it is you collect.

>>387361285
Oh so just legitimate Academia now? What about a person that collects historic memoribilia.

Private collectors and museums interact extremely heavily and there is a strong overlap of acquisition between the two sects. You are really reaching here.

>>387361502
If someone tracked down some historical object from old documents and acquired it then at that point I would call them a historian. If someone bought an old gun off of ebay then they're just a collector. I respect one and not the other.

>>387361746
And you're just resorting to generalisation again so clearly you have no actual arguments. The fact you would classify a collector as a historian because he is more passionate about his hobby than another imaginary, hypothetical person is moot. You are an idiot and who you do and do not respect is irrelevant to the topic at hand. The fact of the matter is you want to draw imaginary lines between levels of involvement in order to declassify some hobbyists from partaking in their hobby to fit your argument, but the world does not work that way. A fitness enthusiast that is not good at his hobby and an athlete who is are both still fitness enthusiasts and the same applies to any other hobby in existence.

Now feel free to cherry pick a single aspect of my post so you can lazily respond and maintain some semblance of credibility.

>>387361115
>Steam is the only digital service there is.

Also, the point is you NEVER need online in the first place to even get the game. Control over access is entirely on your end and no one elses.

Valve basically has no real competition, desu. They don't even need to produce games to keep up.

Are there times where you don't have Internet for weeks?
