Being a gamer is having 75% of the games in your library unfinished 😭

for me it’s burnout sometimes, bad habit of playing a game into the ground and then never wanting to pick it up again, hard to find that motivation

I refuse to believe this isn’t a steam thing. I’ve only started maybe 10% of my steam library. Whereas on Switch I’ve at least started like 60% of my library

75% not started, 25% games you keep playing over and over

I hyperfixate on games too much that I complete them in a week so I have to buy games in order to play my backlog :(

Hey, so that’s called an addiction. I say this not to clown you or call you a loser in any way, but you genuinely need to touch grass

Dude how did you jump that far to conclusions?? I rarely buy games (2-3 per year IF THAT) so when I do end up getting a game I am really excited for it

I grew up frugal so I only ever bought games with my own money. That and having a touch of the tism means that it’s easy for me to come back to a game for 1 hour sessions each night til it’s done. Maybe don’t assume things you have no clue about

Your original comment implies that you buy games consistently, bouncing from one to another weekly (or less) to satisfy your hyper-fixation. Maybe you should phrase things better or consider how your words can be misunderstood instead of automatically assuming a response is a personal attack

Why is this downvoted? Do people have a problem with telling the truth? I get a ton of games for free and don't play them fast enough. Im working on Arkham Asylum from my massive epic library and I'm two months in, seemingly half way done with the game(according to the in-game percentage). If you get one game per week but take months to complete it, that's 52 games with only ~4 completions per year. So after two years you have 8 completions with 96 untouched. That's over 90% untouched.

And that's assuming purely the one game per week average AND 3 month completion speed. I have some games that are sims with no completion, or RPGs with replayability. As I work my way through my library it will take FOREVER. Impossible to run out of games even if I never pay for them.
