What is it like for game mishaps and the year 2020? Earlier, we saw a guy investing his whole savings and his fiancee on building his own super-expensive gaming rig. Then some PlayStation 5s were robbed by delivery boys from Amazon. Today, according to news accounts, a New Yorker's mother threw away his whole set of cards, which was worth over $500,000, reportedly.
This tragic tale comes from a guy who works in a New York gaming shop. He was an avid gamer himself and also a collector of rare games and gaming consoles, according to his now-deleted tweets. However the guy kept his entire set of games inside after moving out of his old home.
The gamer reports that his list contained over 500 titles, and quite unfortunately, half of them were not even unboxed. He also listed that the overall valuation of the games was well over $500,000" when he last reviewed his set, two years ago.
Sadly, his mother had no knowledge of the importance of all the games in the set, obviously. As a consequence, as part of a house clean-up, she threw them all out. Oh, if only that guy had told her about the immense importance of his collection.
In addition, the gamer noted that his mother also tossed away his gaming consoles, aside from his large set of games, which included some rare consoles from previous years, such as the Atari systems, Super Famicom, and the very rare NeoGeo AES. The blue man also wrote that he lost "basically every system and game" at the house of his parents.
