I don't know, curating things and doing research about stuff, then knowing how to display them in an interesting way is a valid hobby. People collect rocks or put leaves into wax paper.
Collecting video games indiscriminately out of brand loyalty is suspect though. But even as I say that I'd love physical copies of every Silent Hill game.
People used to have curios of things they collected. They had stories and emotional value though. These are usually "I bought it because on sale because I knew it was going to get expensive" and "I bought it online".
Oh man, I have watched all the Adam Savage videos of him explaining every little movie prop he's collected or built, or any of the other weird things he owns. I love going into people's houses and seeing all the random shit they have. Everyone should have their own little museums or libraries everyone else can see.
Collecting things shouldn't be considered a hobby
edit: : Buying things isn't a hobby

Valid points, I'll be more specific in the post ^
