[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8735480, member: 7006"] If that ever actually happened to me, then maybe I'd go along with your point. But in fact... I've gotten rid of older games and books that I never played anymore (like all my AD&D and 2E books) and have not once ever regretted not owning them anymore. And I have a whole bunch of game books that I've purchased (either through Kickstarter or on a whim at a con) that the most interaction I've had with them was maybe spending an hour or two when I first got it flipping through it... but again have never touched it since. So what good has it been to have these physical copies in my closet? Heck... it's no different than me having bought Blu-Rays discs of movies I thought I wanted bunches of years ago, but then never actually once watched them a single time because I've been too busy watching other stuff on the subscription services like Netflix and Disney+ that I pay for every month. So this idea that needing a physical copy of something to actually put on your shelf is I'm absolutely sure important to a lot of you... but I'm not that guy. If I'm not going to use it... I don't need it. [/QUOTE]
