Is James really the cause of the retro explosion?
I thing he is many things....
A guy who did two or three videos when he was in film school that friends thought was funny then a few years later this YouTube thing became a thing and he posted these old film school videos ...
That snowballed into a brand, a name, a series, recognition....right time..filled a need.
But what need?
Well when AVGN became its own thing other smaller scale things had also started ScrewAttack being one of them....the ability for technology to up and comers to do simp,e editing and mass media and availability to talk about Atheir anosalgia...
That breathed life into what many of us liked in the 80s and 90s..that being many of our first home gaming and arcades.....
Many of these individual groups combined into largers organizations their fan bases mixed and over the past few years many of us now earning more money want to reclaim their childhood.....or games and systems that we never got to own or play as a kid.....
Now it is all at its peak.....or many of us HOPE it is at it peak...but no
Their are still systems and games to learn about and collect for to add to our game rooms which only makes those from the beginning find their hobbies harder to collect for......l
My being new to obey am simply one more leech trying to get the same game you may want for a price neither of us wants to pay for but have to because there is more and more demand....
The only reall way for gamers to control the price are to sell and buy from with in the community and cut out the middle man cut out the reseller cut out the horder....
But to an extent that is only partly possible.
