@ The people saying I'm not being nice and having whatever kind of attitude:
You're only "attacking" and ganging up on me due to your "forum regular" tribalism. It has nothing to do with my "tone" because telling someone they're wrong about what being complete is using facts isn't rude or having a tone. You read what I wrote in the tone you wanted it to be in. That's your problem not mine.
Then people want to throw stones at glass houses. "Here's someone newer. Let's gang up on him being hypocrites saying he's mean because we don't like how he's coming in here talking". The sad part is it's people who didn't even read past the 1st sentence of my original post or thread title.
Overly sensitive people being offended by someone breathing in a way they don't want them to. Most of you act as if me telling some people who may not know is me being high on myself when I wasn't. Heaven forbid I be informative to someone who might not know and after reading decide they want to change how they purchase/collect.
Would you act the same way if gardening was my hobby and I tried telling you a more efficient way of growing tomatoes based on facts and hypothetical sciences? How dare he come on here acting like like a know-it-all using facts about growing tomatoes! Let's burn him! Relax snowflakes.
Typical forum noobs hi-jacking threads trying to start drama to boost their post count. "If you don't like the (insert: thread, video, whatever) don't open/watch it" type of deal. There are a lot of threads I don't like after opening and reading what it's about on here. Guess what? I close the page and don't reply because it's not something I care to engage wasting my time on or don't agree with. Just an idea.
@jacex
I appreciate the civil reply. I feel the same way about everything you said. I also know how you're saying they look at it. They think it's not important because they're the same kind of people who buy a game new for $50 then drag it across desks scratching it.
I seen a thread on here before of people complaining that the full set of RV cards for ACNL are too expensive. They should see what real card hobby collecting is like. We live in a world where people want something for nothing. Then when they get it treat it like garbage instead of looking at playing video games as a future investment that they could get their money back if not more if they ever quit playing games.

"I consider a game complete when there are no more updates or changes to the game". I've said two times prior I'm talking about complete in the sense of physical holding in your hands game and what comes in the game box once you open it... Manual, ad inserts, warning inserts, DLC code inserts, "goodies" i.e. posters, keychains, etc. NOT if they do updates to the game after release.
You think I didn't mean any harm until I started talking about the salt? Apparently you didn't read the replies of people being rude to me before I posted the salt picture. Where is your post telling others they aren't being nice? How convenient... Good selective reading.
Saying you're going to educate someone isn't condescending because I'm sure there are people who read this that had no idea that there is a difference about what makes a physical game complete. It's common sense that my original post isn't directed to every single person on this forum. That should go without saying. But some people don't have common sense apparently.
@im_the_rhino
You ask "why does it matter"? Because while you have 70-80 games in your total vid game collection I have 200 or more just for PS3 alone (not an eggplant measuring contest simply answering your question). I'd rather have more games than less games personally. And not everyone can get around to buying what is on their "want list" when the launch date hits. I buy new too sometimes depending on availability and other factors.
A good amount of people don't have the money to buy 70-80 games on launch date. Let's say you have the lower amount you said... 70 games. And you bought them for $50 a piece. That's $3,500 before taxes. The majority of people on TBT aren't spending money like that on games. You know how many more games I could buy complete at a buy 2 get 1 free pre owned sale for the same money? Unless you're buying new to support the game company or to buy a release that comes with extras in the new that isn't in the used condition you can buy used and save a lot of money/build a bigger library. If there is no difference between a new and used copy I'm buying it used.
@Shellzilla
I do respect what you're saying is complete "for you" because people are free to spend their money for whatever condition they are happy with. 100%.
There are a few games I own that aren't complete just because as jacex said it's either too expensive or impossible to find complete. The thread however is about what is actually considered to be complete in the eyes of collectors, ebay, amazon, retro stores, etc. Not an individual. There's a huge difference in value if you ever want/need to sell the game/console.
PS: You can buy Amiibo Festival dirt cheap from Gamestop with the amiibo, the box it's bundled in, game, etc. The game was considered dookie by many so the new copies were switched to used prices mostly sitting in the drawers. Not all stores will have it complete in this way, but I've seen stores that have 1-4 copies like this in their store complete that were new converted to "used". I got mine for under $2 or 3 after tax a couple years ago, which was a steal just for the 2 amiibos alone.

Another person who only read the thread title and none of the posts in it. Please look at my opening paragraph to Antonio.

More like you stopped reading because you can't handle your own salt.
I answered you and if you read jacex's reply to me you will see why you can't always get something in an unopened box.
