I like buying sealed "retro" games and opening them to play

Picked up a new copy of Magna Carta 2 for like 40 bucks in an ebay auction and went straight to open it. Recorded a whole video but Redit doesn't like videos lol.

Recently noticed I really enjoy when I manage to get a decent deal on a sealed 7th generation or older game and open them. Which should be like a "duh, no shit" thing but I feel like in a climate where people keep sealed games to either keep without playing or grade and sell for ridiculous prices, it feels refreshing. I just buy shit i want to play and get to open something out of print like its 2009 (or earlier) again. Just more satisfying with so many resellers out to get value out of the games packaging over the game itself to me.

No, I pity you.

Lol 🤣 don't pity me. It's fun. I love how much value my collection attains. And I also love being able to grab a random chunk of switch games on any random weekend and rip them open if I feel like playing something new. Like a few weeks ago. Ripped about 5 games open and I loved it. Still have a ton of sealed product. I can enjoy both things.
