Not for me.
Pretty much from 2016 onwards I’ve gone digital.
Sometimes though with physical collections space does become an issue. This is why I ask this question.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I'm fine with my physical collection, if anything like it growing with new experiences. Because it's in my nature to only keep what I would replay, and my collection changes based on if a superior Remaster or Remake comes around as well. Unless it's changed to be different in odd areas, in which case may favor the older port and discard the new poorly handled Remake/ Remaster.
Too big? No. I still have enough space in my room, I just need to be creative to organize it. The last thing I can complain about is not having enough space, since my room is the biggest in our house, and our house it already bigger than other houses in my country (Israel)
I've done a ton of digital collecting over the years between GOG, Steam, Origins and such. I've moved over to physical collecting as of late for the 360, Playstation 2, SNES, NES and such. Such great classic games to play. My goal is to get a complete playable collection of the 360.

Yea I'm at the same space where I'm always adding so I'm getting really creative in storage. At the moment I have a 32" CRT, 40" flat screen and I have a 60" flat screen on layaway to add as well (I am keeping the 40" as well.) Though I play lots of games I am if not more so a collector. I just added a Nintendo 64, a SNES, a Retron. I also just bought a combination of Xbox 360 and Playstation 2 games
Not really. But I could always downsize. I like the saying: keep it simple, stupid. I think it applies here. One good game trumps ten bad games.
i'd like to have a bit of a clear out of my ps4 collection tbh. i've got about 75 games and i've ended up accumulating some right crap over the years - mad max, mafia 3, numerous assassin's creeds, thief and likely plenty of others too. they take up far too much room and i'm probably not going to play a lot of them again. i don't buy digital on console because i'm still not yet convinced of its long term availability. next gen i'll probably give it a try
No, I enjoy collecting games, adding to my collection. Plus, it's all digital at this point (last hard copy was probably bought 10+ years ago :P), so I couldn't sell it off even if I wanted to (a small price to pay for having digital copies). I do wish I could share my games, though.
But as I said, I like collecting: I will often buy old games that I frankly have no intention of playing immediately because I enjoyed them when I was younger; I currently have Tie Fighter and X-Wing installed on my PC for the past few years "just in case" I feel like playing those classic gems. I will often buy things during sale if the price is really good, again with no intention of playing them immediately.
I usually get around to playing all my games, but I don't feel forced to do so; my actual job is hard enough, I don't need to take gaming seriously, too.
My thought process is usually "Oooooh that looks fun, I think I will buy it" or "Wow, only five bucks? I heard it's good, too; better nab it before the sale is gone"
