game collector

Amasses interactive entertainment

A game collector is someone who accumulates video games, board games, or other gaming materials as a hobby.

The pursuit often emphasizes rare, vintage, or complete-in-box items: He's a game collector who specializes in sealed NES cartridges.

Unlike casual players, collectors may value ownership and preservation over actually playing what they acquire.
