I have videogameboxprotectors and while I like them, I'm starting to ponder the absurdity of using these for modern games. I've been considering taking them off to get more shelf space. It makes sense for my genesis games because dusting is a pain. Same with sega cd because of how fragile the cases are.
Originally I considered that I wanted to prevent scratching of the cases when pulling them in and out of the shelf, but I hardly ever pull them out. Most of the time, I play a digital copy on game pass or one game at a time. Not like when I was a kid, swapping 10 games a day to stay entertained.
