Sega was their own worst enemy
Arguably they still are today. Can't stop being a fan though!

It seems that most, if not all, are what we had here in the UK.
PS5 ui is actually quite bland but at least it isn't crammed full of useless shit like the Xbox dashboard.
I find the aesthetics of Xbox are actually nice but again they fill the dash with so much stuff it's a mess and intrusive.
I'm not surprised. My experience with Xbox has declined over the last few years now so wouldn't recommend it to anyone anymore.
Buying on eBay is fine. I've had some issues but it normally just takes a few days to resolve and I'm never worse off.
Selling on the other hand...
Shenmue: Orchestral Soundtrack
Those are my favourites but I'll also put something different here too,
I never owned a G-Con and only had a knock-off.of some kind. Spent a lot of time on Point Blank, Die Hard 2 (trilogy) and Time Crisis.
Swapped my copy of Power Stone 2 for Soul Calibur with a friend of a friend and what was supposed to be a week or so became forever...
I also let a mate borrow MSR on the Dreamcast and when I went over again I found the disc being used as a coaster to someone's coffee...
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 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 don't really have an opinion either way for "always online" but live service (games as a service) makes me actively avoid that shit.
It's perfectly fine to "finish" a game (maybe after a year or two) and move on to making the next. You don't need to have a 10 year plan to try and keep it relevant.
Too soon...
What makes me happy though is the Dreamcast is still going strong today with fan translations, indie games (and more) and online play.
