Do you think people will try to assemble a complete collection of the PS4/Xbox/Switch library, like is common with retro consoles? (rammy.site)

I've often wondered this. With the sheer volume of titles on modern consoles, is it even possible to have a complete collection of the library? Especially with something like the Switch, where there are also a shit ton of shovelware titles out there, not only digital but physical shovelware as well from Limited Run Games.

Part of me thinks it's not going to happen, and the other part of me knows that I'm probably severely underestimating collectors' skills, resources, and obsession.

This reminds me to the completionist video (using mlem, don’t know how to link videos) where he’s trying to get the complete 3ds and Wii U libraries and all the hoops he had to jump in order to complete them.

The thing is that even though there will be probably some that will try to achieve a complete collection for these consoles, how many of these games will be unplayable due to not connecting to servers? Modern gaming is in a very sad state…
