Over the years I've come to understand that there are two aspects to being a Gamer, and while they can go hand-in-hand, they can also exist separately: these are the hobby of collecting games, and the hobby of playing games. The sales of hobby games would be dismal, I mean close-up-the-industry dismal, if people only bought games they are truly and actually going to play. It's really because of the collecting part of the hobby we can have an industry.
