Is this a thing? I want to know, because I know how a lot of people think and I know human nature quite well, being a punching bag most my entire lifetime

My question is? A there some people out there that are picking up old hardware and games just to toss them across the yard or use them as coasters? that should be illegal in my opinion, because they have no excuse to do these things other than to hose the video games of Olk.

and shrink the physical copies down even further, than drive up the price for others to have them like for example, people that only own museums or the extremely rich for them to own or own legally.

Human beings will rob you of everything except your soul, and it's always been this way even before most of the stories of ancients. if you are not a complete SOB then you are not completely human in my opinion, but that is actually a good thing because that actually means could actually have more God given power in your future.

anyway I wanted to know does anybody have any proof of what I just asked in the thread title???

Back in the day I'd heard of people throwing away their kid's old game consoles with the mentality of "who'd want these old things?" Some people thought of old game carts of discs the same way they did Betamax, 8track or some other outdated technology, but I highly doubt with the internet that many people are doing this now. Sure, some are going to be tossed out due to years of neglect or damage, but for the most part people will at least try and donate them or sell them if they're unwanted. If anything, people are doing what they can to preserve and restore old game consoles since there is so much interest and money to be had in doing so. So no, I doubt anyone is just throwing away old consoles just because these days.

Why would people spend money on stuff just to destroy it for others. That's just ridiculous. Feels like the kind of thing that somebody with a "the entire world is against me" mindset would say.

Now he could vary well burn for what he did to me all 3 of them. And i don't lite fires

It would be insane to buy something with the intent to destroy it and make it more rare. If someone bought 999,999 copies of Mary Kate and Ashley's Meltdown at McDonald's, it's true that they could drive up the cost of the last remaining copy to $1,000,000. But the amount they would have to spend to do this would be way more than $1,000,000. So there would be no reason other than hating both money and fun.
