Right? For a game to be a collector's item, it needs to still be able to function in its intended capacity. Additionally, they need to be considered good. Most games that become a collectable do so when they transition into the "classic" category, usually 20+ years after they released. In 2050, no one's going to think, "Oh man, Concord was hailed as a masterpiece in its day, I need to own that piece of history!"
