The last time I saw a collection thread it was overwhelmed by hordes of faggots unironically treating it as a checklist instead of being populated almost entirely by actual enthusiasts. Basically just a bunch of people with 20 games for (system) that included the standard /v/ee recommendations and then maybe one or two critically acclaimed games, most of whom were talking about how they were looking forward to buying (game X) and (game Y) next from eBay when they got paid.
Whereas it used to just be a bunch of people posting pictures of all the games they'd bought, including an assortment of classics, AAA slop, random games from the bargain bin and anything else they'd stumbled upon while in thrift stores etc. So basically large collections are now largely done to brag about on the internet instead of being the natural result of playing lots of games. It doesn't help that the average gamer now believes that digital = GOATED and physical = CRINGE
The modern equivalent would be Steam library threads, but those are relatively rare because it's more of a hassle to take a picture of every Steam game you own as opposed to just taking a quick picture of your game shelf.
