Top Gun Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 What is wrong with you people I bought the vast majority of them for $5 or less during various Steam sales, or got them as part of Humble Bundles. There are some freebies scattered in there too. Honestly I'd be shocked to find a long-time Steam user who doesn't have a huge backlog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupin_bebop Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Yeah. Steam sales and Humble Bundles are hard to resist. I have several games I don’t play, too. It’s different for PS3/PS4 for me. I play everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think if I was rich again, I'd probably still be pretty frugal. Though I would probably still buy a lot of videogames. But I'd play em. I think my big obsessive thing would be trolling EBay for toys I had as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 That's my situation, except all of those games are half-finished. You still have a dozen Final Fantasies, Resident Evils, and Fatal Frames you're half-way through, you don't need anymore games, me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunStarHero Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 When I had my massive collection of games (38 consoles/300+ games) I admittedly would only play a handful of them regularly.

katt_goddess Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Thankfully I'm not that bad in the games department. I think I've played every game I have although not every game has been played to completion. I never got into Steam or any online / download type things other than a couple of Candy Crushes and Bubble Witch for their mindlessness and time limits [i play until I'm out of lives and then I'm done] . Books are another thing entirely. I think I have something like 600 that I haven't read yet sitting around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
