bossy lady posted:Retro game market went absolutely insane. I guess a combination of boredom and nostalgia hit people hard and then opportunists jumped on board? I have no clue. I think it's more the collectables market in general. Crypto basically taught people that you can turn anything into currency which caused hyper inflation of a bunch of old junk that wasn't worth much a few years ago. Even new junk. Game consoles and graphics cards were practically currency for a while there. The retro games market does seem weirdly calculated though, like some big scam/collaborative effort to artificially bump prices into the stratosphere. It's both gross and fascinating and I hope someone does a good writeup or video on it. Or if one exists, someone point me in that direction.

Bad Purchase posted:graphics cards and game consoles weren't inflated because people saw them as crypto-like collectibles I guess that was a bad comparison but there is definitely something funkier going on with retro games.
