Is it too late to start collecting video games?

They are only going to get more and more rare right?

There's only so many physical copies of older games, user.

I imagine California is full of Genesis stuff because of all the Dagos there
Not really, back in the early 2000’s I remember Atari games were crazy expensive, any boxed stuff was kept behind the counter.
All the kids from back then were now adults with a disposable income to collect, but then they get married have kids and usually dump their collection. Now Atari is old and outdated. The younger generation isn’t interested, and that some shop is selling them for nothing and CIB stuff is just gathering dust on the shelf because nobody is interested.
NES and Famicom stuff is the same way now, all the kids who grew up with that and SNES are starting to get rid of their collections and the younger generation isn’t interested in them, when I go to my local retro I see the high school kids get super excited about the “retro GameCube” collection the store has, they’re not into old school 2D games, in the next 5 years I think the prices will start to drop a lot and GameCube stuff will sky rocket.

I think it's cool if you're into console modding or CRTs
For the most part it's a financial sink, though.

Too late to start? No.

Terrible idea to ever start? Yes.

Emucucks need to be banned seriously it’s getting ridiculous. Every thread about a game is just “DUDE RASPBERRY PIE LOL I PLAY N64 GAMES ON AN XBOX 360 CONTROLLER”

>financial sink
You can buy 10 CIB Famicom games for the same price as 1 PS4 game, if you’re collecting carts only then you can easily get 20 games for the price of 1 PS4 game.
It’s why I haven’t invested in a next gen Console yet, I’m still missing a lot of retro games, Hell I’ve only just started building my Saturn collection

Collecting is a mental illness

This seems to me like an issue you have fabricated.
