"We debate whether or not it's alright for Wata to be grading reproduction video games."
On the one hand, I kind of agree with Pat in that it's kind of hinky and a slippery slope and shouldn't be done. But on the other hand, I probably agree more with Ian's attitude of not really giving a fuck either way and not liking grading in the first place. I don't mind collecting and shit, if one actually cares about the things they're collecting, but doing so explicitly for the purposes of reselling later (which, to me, is the implication for why you're doing it if you're getting the shit graded like this) is just scummy, as far as I'm concerned. Wata, and similar entities, are pointless at best, and them grading reproduction carts just makes them even more pointless and skewing toward actively harmful. But, again, I just don't care enough to do more than post a CUPodcast video about it and rant for a few lines. (And if it weren't for CUPodcast, I would never have heard of Wata at all, in the first place, so there's that, too.)
