Video game collecting is one of my favorite hobbies and one of the best communities I am a part of. But the experience of video game collecting changed a lot during the Covid 19 pandemic and now our economy and our culture has imposed restrictions on the hobby that make it difficult for more people to get into it. In addition, game collecting has suffered from changes in technology and the industry itself. So what can we do to improve the state of our hobby and make meaningful changes in gaming culture and the industry?
