It is a service to everyone except the collectors, and if you’re after software just for the monetary value, those of us who aren’t collectors don’t appreciate you either. There is nothing wrong with the price of a game decreasing, as it makes that game more accessible to people. The high price you collectors charge just serves to draw attention to some older games that were in small numbers of production. Games like Tales of Eternia just weren’t widely known because the publisher never bothered to advertise them, and then spares were recalled before word of mouth could spread. That doesn’t justify the high price people have to pay for the game now that they learned about the series because Nintendo did a major advertisement campaign for Tales of Symphonia.

With reprints having a higher chance of happening, the price of games can fall to what they are worth for actual content, instead of what they are worth just for being rare.

he feels bad about his dead end job so he resorts on picking on companies that are actually doing good things for the industry.

one word loser STFU

I have to say I largely disagree with LoT and agree with the above commentors. Games ARE meant to be played, regardless of price. I’m interested in great games, not expensive ones. That’s why a NES cart like Bubble Bobble will also have a higher value in my mind than some junk like Bubble Bath Babes. While I would love to have a copy of BBB, I’d only buy if it were a deal. What constitutes a “deal” is different for every collector, but I think you get my drift.

I’m a collector who loves playing games on the original hardware; and I have NO interested in just getting a bunch of emulator ROMs. That said, I have no problem with re-issues — so long as the re-issued packaging contains some kind of identifying mark that lets you know it’s not original. It’s got to have SOMETHING, however small, that clearly labels it as a repro.

Famous and/or collectible coins, comic books and baseball cards all have been reproduced over the years and collectors have ways of telling fakes from the genuine article. A REAL collector will still be interested in obtaining orginal copies. Meanwhile, people who can’t shell out a bunch of money wil get to play great games though the efforts of people like Game Quest. So long as the repros are clearly marked and so long as collectors continue to take their hobby seriously, then the value of the games shouldn’t decrease by much, if at all.
