Tide turning against steelbook video game collecting?

[game_player_s]

Only see one steelbook at present time, but I know I had a second one at some point. My gripe with them is that if they get scratched then the painted/printed on "cover art" is damaged, whereas with a regular plastic case if it gets scratched the artwork is on paper under what was likely scratched, not indestructable and more resillieant to damage.

And like others, rust is a serious concern with steel case games due to the rather poor grade of steel sheet metal from which they are made. Don't get me wrong, I love the concept of the steel cases, but the manufacturers of these cases would be wise to do one of the following to futre cases they make.:
1. Switch over to making the cases from aluminum or a corrosion resistant alloy.
2. Electro-plating the steel with a corrosion resistant metal, such as nickel.
3. Galvanizing (zinc plating) the steel to make it rust resistant.
