Arrogant, spoiled (mostly upper middle class) retro gamers (aka HOARDERS) who think that everyone in the world has enough physical space to have a bunch of gaming consoles and 8 and 16 bit microcomputers in their house. These people are completely opposed to emulation (save for MAME), yet they are too dumb and arrogant to realize that not everyone can AFFORD (nor have enough room in their homes) to own a bunch of real hardware. Especially with the way the prices are today for actual physical hardware.
Jim: I'm going to download that new ZX Spectrum game and play it on my PC
Tim: Emulation...bah...I own like 12 Spectrums
Jim: Yeah, you're a spoiled rich douche, and can afford it. You are such a real hardware snob.
