Why are some people against Physical Game Collectors?
Einhander:
I really don't understand digital advocates who seem to insult collectors at every chance. They call us hoarders, they blame us for not giving Sony and MS power. They always say that we have no reason to collect other than to act like kids who need their toys and in the process waste paper and plastic.
My argument is that I'm a consumer and I want it the way I want it. I have no interest in giving Sony piracy rights as well. I'm a collector. What's wrong with being a player and a collector? The way I see it is if they can't understand why we want to have games, well there are many people who can't understand why they want to play games. The truth is that people are entitled to like whatever they like. And these digital game freaks seem to be more anti physical collectors than actually wanting something that could be a huge benefit.

Well said, they are the same ones who cry when their system breaks and they lose all the games, we dont have that problem we just get another system, we still have our games.
Blumpkin:
I've never seen anyone be be spiteful against physical media collectors. But I have had experience with the digital elite, people that try to convince everybody that changing out a disc is just too much work.
Those are the same people that haven't been able to play any games the last few days because PSN/XBL outages.
palmer6strings:
As Blumkin said, I actually have never heard anyone say this... If some (what I call) Bible thumper DIgital Downloader started harking at me. I would just downright tell them to go fuck themselves.
My friend agrees that going DD only isn't a good idea and that in a way takes away our rights of property/ownership, but the reason hey buys DDs is because he is to lazy to change out disks. Lol.
Dore:
I'd also point out that my physical collection is worth quite a bit (I could toss just my SNES rares in a box and it's easily over 2 grand JUST for those). If I ever have a real emergency, I have a built-in back up plan. I'd like to see them sell their digital games.
