It would still be worse without the volume of presence this shit currently has online. Anyone with a little effort can google and see going prices and make the decision to not put them in the garbage.
The alternative is like early comics. Kids didn't know, shit went in the trash. Mom's didn't know, in the trash, etc.
What's there even to argue about this? A lot more of early gaming is going to be passed on than early comics. And a lot of that is how the web is constantly refreshing interest and makes going prices easily accessible.
Sure, some shit still goes in the garbage because of YellerDog and his mom, but at a much lower rate than even 20 years ok.
