The core argument is solid: a Neo Geo re-release can split the market instead of “crashing” it. Players who just want the experience may move to new hardware/software, but serious collectors still pay for original AES carts because rarity, condition, and authenticity are the whole damn point; that’s the same dynamic discussed around modern and broader collector debates like this ResetEra thread. On InLeo, the closest recent context is your own retro/gaming coverage like this Phase Zero post, but I’m not seeing a strong recent Neo Geo pricing discussion there. My take: re-releases usually hurt speculative buyers more than true collector pricing, which honestly is healthy for retro gaming.
