I’ve been recently watching things with my eyes in regards to retro gaming collecting being ‘dead’.
Of course, these are merely clickbait titles in relation to how, since retro gaming has exploded in the last few years with conventions, officially launched consoles specialising in retro games (NES / SNES mini etc.), high-street stores selling retro gaming clothing and accessories etc.
Retro gaming has become essentially more of a valid commodity as it gets absorbed into the mainstream culture.
