Games are an investment. First a lot of games are expensive, so you have already put a big investment into the actual purchase, but once you have them it's important to protect those pieces. It's not like you can go out and buy replacement cards for games and from wear and tear of just playing the game the cards will wear out, plastic sleeves will protect the cards from that. They are also very important for those occasional spills at the table. If a friend spills some soda, a card that falls in it are much more likely to be ruined than a card that has a sleeve on it.
I also bag up the components for a game. It does increase the put away time for the game, but you save that the next time you go to set up the game. The pieces are also protected and much less likely to be lost when the game is on the shelf.
If you decide later that the game is not for you, a game that has been sleeved and bagged with no missing parts is much more likely to get the return on investment for the game.
