In all honesty, no improvement was made (personal opinion, of course). The “sifting through games as if they were records” I feel is more of a novelty than anything practical – perhaps it would work wonders if you’re trying to set them up for a sale. The standard way that most everyone organizes their games with the spines facing forward, I feel works tenfold since these provide the most basic information needed for whatever game you’re looking for; its name. I believe, while mundane, this is the best way to organize your games, especially if your intention is to play them. You can always sprinkle your shelves with a bit of game-related décor, or take some of your favorites or most priced games [gems] and display them with plate stands. This is something I began doing when collecting comicbooks.
Now, if you’re a collector first and relegate playing your games, then yeah, maybe this could work; but even then I feel there are better ways to display your collection if you’re just a collector. There are plenty of options when it comes to display cabinets that could work great for displaying a collection, specifically for those rare, expensive, Holy Grail games, which I feel is what most people do when it comes to showing off their collection anyway (not just for video games).
With that said, the way the games are organized in the middle row in the last picture works better than how they are in the first. As mentioned above, for displaying games he would certainly benefit from getting some plate stands instead of opening the cases.
But hey, to each their own, as they say; we all organize to our own liking – we're all a world apart at the end of the day.
