I think if you're a Wii U owner with more than 10 games you qualify as a collector. This is coming from someone who's seriously thinking about spending actual money on a copy of Devil's Third.
I haven't done it yet, but I've considered it. However, the bottom line is, if there's performance issues with the game that hurt its playability, I think I'm going to pass on it. I thought, at first, it was just a mechanically broken affair, but I've heard that the game crashes and has severe framerate issues, which is unacceptable to me.
Also, I wouldn't consider myself a collector just because I have more than 10 Wii U games. I love Nintendo games, and I also missed out on some quality titles from xBox and Playstation that got director's cuts and definitive versions on Wii U. So I think I'm justified.
It's why I bought Rodea The Sky Soldier.
Yeah, big mistake. Coming from someone who bought, played, and returned the game.
As long as I play through each new game I buy, I don't care what people prefer to label me as- I am a gamer. I collect titles that I think are worth keeping around, either for my kids someday or because they hold special value to me. Those that I buy and don't enjoy are traded in. With digital it's a bit different, but since they're so much lower in price and often a nice satisfying 4-10 hours of gameplay, I feel like I can deal with that purchase.
