Why don't you have more games?

[treismac]

I'd say only money is a factor. If you had more money, you could just BUY more space. haha.

Absolutely. Hell, you could buy a house that was totally dedicated to video games if cash wasn't a concern.

It was space (that issue was rectified ) but seriously, it's other commitments anymore. My money is being sunk into my other hobbies - that and seriously, when you're approaching multiple thousands of games, it gets to the point where you either have everything you want to play ever, or you just don't have the urge to buy more.

I only keep games that I like. At about 500 games I'm pretty content with my collection. Other than Playstation, I mostly collect for Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Gameboy Advance, but it atleast needs to come with the box, so I'll either come across a great deal on Ebay listing or out in the wild but very rarely.

Being that this gen sucks, I might get 10 a year, and then I probably sell half of them.

Not a collector, thus I don't like to keep around a lot of stuff that I am not likely to play.

I'd say location. Living in a smaller area, there is pretty slim pickings around here. I have to go an hour or so to a city were I can find lots of good deals, which I have no problem doing, buts its just not possible to do that every week, or every month even.

It's not money, really. I could afford it, if I chose to do so. Like several others in this thread, it's mainly that I have more games now than I can reasonably play / finish. It's just not worth acquiring the extra ones unless it's at a deep discount ($10 or less). Go indie gaming, I guess.

It's mostly lack of money and space. And to get the games. There is a local used game store by me but they are complete rip offs. And i refuse to use Ebay, So garage sales, Thrift stores and Flea Markets are my only option, And there aren't many around here.

I am working on it. I am up to 1600 now not counting what is currently in the mail. I could have more, but just don't because I am not that far yet

Beyond the penis measuring potential, this is all this makes me think of.

[Parodius Duh!]

I had suffered from severe obsessive compulsive disorder and felt as though I could only collect one system at a time. So Id have nintendo, then sell it all to get a saturn. Sell all the saturn stuff to get a PC engine. This would carry on for years unfortunately and I always would regret (and still do) selling off a lot of what I once had.

This is it. I own five hundred games or so, and I sometimes think that's too many.

When we bought our house I had an existential crisis about my insane book collection, bought a nook, sold off the bulk of the library and never looked back. A similar scenario involving my games and systems isn't out of the question at some point.
