    Tbh, if I would be a millionaire, my hobbies would shift from playing videogames to getting every single one of them and digitalizing them into multiple drives, some of them EMP shielded

        I’d need a house and enough storage room for this. Where I live a 320 square foot apartment costs about $500 - that’s 25% of a regular monthly income after tax, a regular house is around around $700.000

          I mean. Every super Nintendo / Nintendo / n64 game ever is what, like, 16gb?

              I heard from somewhere that you can get the whole collection down to below 120GB if you compress all variants of a game into solid archive.

            Yes, but it‘s not about the digital media for me. I want that stuff physical.

      If I was a millionaire I would shift my priorities to flooding Nintendo with frivolous lawsuits. Hit em with a bit of their own tactics.
