I don't have a hard cut-off but I also haven't bought a physical game in some years now because of the price increases. I would love to continue my Dreamcast collection but it's not worth the risk spending so much anymore.
I just sold my Dreamcast for that very reason. Well that and to focus more on Nintendo hardware since it's what I grew up with. I know optical drive emulators exist, but for whatever reason I don't like them as much as a flash cart type situation. Says the guy who has two picoboot GameCubes :)
I used to collect a lot more in the last 20 so years but sold anything not Dreamcast related. That was mostly because of space saving though.
I did manage to get a clone GDEMU before they were in high demand but playing roms loses the nostalgic charm that having something physical has.
I did picoboot instead of an ODE specifically so I could still play my admittedly small GameCube collection.
