Topic: Do you still count deleted games as part of your collection?

I don't. If I dislike a game enough to purge it even from SD card then I no more consider it part of my collection than a disc I've given to a charity shop or punted on Ebay. I also don't bother tracking games I no longer own in Backloggery and that includes deleted WiiWare/VC titles.

Just curious if other people keep games they don't like just because they have the license to own them or if they feel the same?

I don't delete games. No reason to. Even a game as awful as Niki I reserve a place for on the last page in case I ever want to torture someone. I've got probably less than 10% of my SD card full despite owning nearly 100 games, and none of my hard drive space is being used except for saves and non-game channels.

With the SD card add-on, I doubt I'll end up deleting any games. I don't know why, it just feels wrong. Even crap like Incoming.

I have no idea why I keep bad games. It's psychological, somehow. Maybe it makes the truly awesome games look even better when they're slotted next to pure trash.

EDIT: I wish I could trade you Incoming for Niki.

I have a lot of games from the Wii Shop and I do consider deleted games apart of my collection and will have a lot more soon as my Wii has been broken since July 6th (Hopefully getting fixed this week).

Nope. No need really. Even if I don't like a game too much or tire of it, I don't hate it enough to delete it. Besides, I can just demote it to a later page on the SD Menu. 8GB is a lot of room for WiiWare/VC.

I'll worry about that when I have a need to delete them.

I don't delete games either (no matter how much I may dislike them and even if I never play them anymore) thanks to the brilliant Card SD Menu.

I've only deleted one game, but to me it no longer exists in my collection. I don't talk about it, it's not on my Backloggery, and I doubt my family even knows I downloaded it. Such an awful game and I wish I could get those 800 points back.

My SD card has still room, so no need to delete anything. And when it's full I buy a bigger SD card.
And I don't many bad games.

The idea to trade games is great.
For example, every year you can trade 3 of your games with someone from your Wii friends list.

Why do I want to bring back Pluto? Cuz the 8 others bullied it and I don't approve of bullying and I am here with this pointless movement to remind people of how (in)significant it really is!

That, and I paid good money for that game, so yes.

@BB Thrilla: you can't technically trade games with people on the wii (like if you played a VC game, didn't like it, and want to trade your rights to it to someone else in return for their rights to a game they purchased in the Wii Shop), but you can purchase games as gifts for people you have friended via Wii and trade that way (like how Adam sent me a DS game in return for me gifting him a VC game).

As much as I dislike this one particular game in my collection, I still won't delete it. It serves as a constant reminder to me to not make impulse purchases. I'm looking at you Super Turrican!

Nope, it was this. I don't even want to speak it's name.

I also don't believe deleted games count as an addition to a collection. My example? Real Soccer 09 on DSiware.......

The only game I have ever gotten rid of was YuYu Hakusho: Spirit Detective for GBA.

I tried to play it. But I hated it. Awful game. I gave it away and I don't count it anymore. Good thing it wasn't MY money though. My aunt bought it for me. I don't even like the TV show.
