I do think this (and the other similar systems) are pretty cool and a lot of fun but I'm becoming more and more worried about the environmental impacts.

From the article, "For many people, they’re little more than cute distractions that end up on a shelf after just a few play sessions. But for many other players, these machines are accessible and affordable tools for exploring classic games, and the Genesis Mini is a great showcase for that."

Should we really be buying more things that are going to sit on our shelves and should they be produced? Why not partner up with Google Stadia or some other provider to piggyback off an existing system people have to minimize waste?
