I disagree, i threw away 60+ xbox 360/ps3 games because the shelf space was more valuable to me than all of them put together. Being able to swap games without getting up to swap discs is also valuable to me which was the reason i didnt ever purchase a disc drive for either ps5
It's not possible to disagree about the value of an item. That value is known and measurable.
Throwing them away is just stupidity. You could have averaged at least $5 a pop from them on Facebook marketplace or probably gotten more than that just trading them in to Game Stop.

There's no such thing as scarcity/limited supply with current games. Everyone that wants a game can buy it online
Completely incorrect. If this were true, there would be no resale market for physical games.
Again, you're arguing against known things. It's like saying a used car has no value because new cars exist.

This game is available to purchase on Nintendo Switch in a 2 pack with the original game as well. Given your stated argument, why is the original NES version so valuable?

Time is money. Going through Facebook or gamestop to sell things isnt worth $300 in my opinion

Yeah there is next to no chance of this happening. I remember when they announced there would be a female protagonist. My first hope was that it would be set a few decades in the past and the chick would be Trevor's mom.

Because it is a rare collectors item due to a low production run. The switch 2 version is cheap because there is no scarcity involved with that version, just like 99% of other modern games.

This is a tacit admission that the games are worth more physically than they are worth digitally. Surely you realize that.

This is a self defeating argument. There is no scarcity for Duck Tales 2. It is available for purchase digitally.

Translation: we're going to sell you another version for the next gen consoles.

There is scarcity for the duck tales 2 nes cartridge. There isnt for duck tales 2 the game. People dont want the cartridge to play the game. They want the cartridge to say look at this rare item i have that there were very few of made.

This is also true of physical games created today. It isn't different. That's my point.
ETA: I'll tell you where I see the most unrealized value currently: physical XBOX games. If we are really moving to an "all digital" console future, this disc to digital program is going to make XBOX games very sought after and as the Series X/S stops being produced the versions with a disc drive will contine to increase in value because people will want to convert their discs to their digital libraries for the XBOX 500 or whatever comes down the line. Especially if they're also giving a digital PC version of the game with this.

It is very different. What physical games today is hard to get if you want it? Duck tales 2 NES cartridge was hard to get because it had a small production run. Name a game released today that is hard to get

It isn't different, it's just current. I wish I could tell you which versions of games (or anything) released today are going to be considered rare 20 years from now. I'd be a lot wealthier than I am.
For example, some people pay huge premiums for games with Blockbuster stickers on them. I would have torn that sticker off of anything I could, because that would have never crossed my mind.
ETA: You could have made your same argument in any era of gaming. There isnt much threat of scarcity while something is still being produced.

not everyone has a gaming PC to pirate a rip of a game so they can play it on an emulator.
the easiest way to play these games today is to have the console and the disc/cartridge.

You dont need a gaming pc to play duck tales 2. Any laptop made in the last 10 years can run anything up to at least ps2 games.
Me and my roommates in college used to play super off road for snes on a 2005 Dell

And yet, the physical version is still worth around $1,000. Here you are arguing that the game is easy to play without the cartridge, therefore not scarce, but that isn't congruent with the rest of your value argument. Why do you believe current physical copies of games won't increase in value while you clearly understand that digital availability isn't the sole consideration?

Because the market is flooded with physical copies of games these days. Modern games are like the beanie babies after the initial craze. People think there will be demand in the future for them because past games had value (based on how hard they were to get for YEARS). You had japan on games and rare arcade machines. The new stuff released isnt like that at all.

it's boomer logic. We create the market, when we are old or dead they will be worth nothing. GenZ could give a crap about some nes collection.

One of the best games of my youth, Morrowind, can be bought right now on ebay for $12 for xbox. I guess i shoulda held onto my copy the past 20 years.
Or i can go on steam right now and buy a superior version for $15.
Im not saying throw out your collections. Im just saying dont count on this generation of games with digital editions to hold/gain value like the console/arcade only games of old.
