Like I said, it's a good thing the gameplay is awesome. My patience is growing a little thin though. I played the game off and on all weekend just waiting for something interesting to happen and it never did. I hope they're finally done throwing new base-building mechanics at me too. I'm pretty muc...

-I can't stand the term "Gamer", it sound so fake and forced when people use it. I never heard the word used until around 2004/2005....marketing tool or people creating a word to make video games more than it is.....who knows? I know I just hate it. -Earthbound and most of the SNES library...

So you mean to tell me that collecting video games never bring about ANY of those effects? I do not think that any of our members has argued (or would argue) that video games collecting will never have a deleterious effect on finances or personal relationships. Your use of the term "hoarder&qu...

So anyone who develops a personal library of any sort is a hoarder? By your definition if I go out today and buy two of my first ever video games, then go buy my third and fourth tomorrow, I am a hoarder. Zodd: you are acting like an idiot. The topic is.... When Does Collecting Become a Problem? My...

The answer to all of your questions is yes. Like I already said, my life doesn't revolve around my collection - I have a fulltime job, a girlfriend, bills to pay, etc. It doesn't consume all my free time either, as I have other hobbies as well. Could I let my collection, or pieces of my collection,...

[ Compulsive Hoarding is actually pretty well documented, and it's not just acquiring a bunch of games you don't bother playing. Basically, you're choosing a very board definition of "hoarding" so you have an excuse to insinuate that people are mentally ill if they choose to go about part...

What an absurd definition of "collector". I think a lot of people collect so that they have a library on hand of many games to potentially play when the moment strikes them. Rarity is nice, but not requisite. Others collect for the sake of collecting - why is that "a problem"? I...

I don't really agree with this...hoarding is a mental illness that doesn't necessarily revolve around wasting time/money, as the OP seems to be having issues with, but an inability to let things go while also picking up new things they have no use for. It seems similar, but there are differences. A...

^You're conflating Hoarding and Collecting. They aren't the same thing. Hoarding is a disease, collecting is a hobby. If your entire point is to suggest that all collectors are inherently mentally ill, then fuck you buddy. Collecting is a problem when it becomes a problem. It's entirely possible to...

I think some of the responses missed the point of the topic......Instead of providing similar experience of the downside of collecting....some people simply passed over it and are still promoting it. Slowing down hoarding is still hoarding......the speed in which you collect does nothing to fix the ...
