Comment on Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing.

  Not ignored—not played yet.

  Journal, July 3, 2025:

  The day opened with a round of Barbie Project Friendship.

  I then followed it up with survival horror Amnesia: The Bunker from survival horror specialists Frictional Games.

  Next on the list was gay dom/sub dating sim Blood Domination.

  Then hard milsim Command: Modern Operations.

  I wound down with some relaxing time in art toy Zen Trails.

  I have always been partial to variety.

    The only game I own on this list is Amnesia.

    But yes, during a weekend, I’ve been known to launch a few titles. 😆

  Come on, none of us will ever play all their games. I’d bet around 2000 of my games on steam are some free keys or other incredibly cheap shit I wouldn’t touch with a 10m-pole. If I’d ever find them again in the library, that is.

    Hey, I’ve played every game I purchased between 2012-15.

      Playing for an hour to see how shitty it is? Or actually bought to enjoy for manymany hours, as intended? Thought so 😁 For us peeps with way more than a few k games, 20% actually been played would be already the big numbers I’d guess.

        Hey, most games are not meant to be played for thousands of hours. And actually, most games I own can be completed in less than 100 hours. Especially if they’re not RPGs. Then there’s arcade games which are often not meant to be completed at all.

        But then again, I’ve already said I’m not a completionist. I only complete games if they’re compelling enough to complete.

      Hmm sounds suspiciously like one of those sane people who buy a game and then have thousands of hours of fun with it. Get outta here 😁

    My completion rate is obviously much lower, but I've played at least two hours of 628/788 games in my 19 year old Steam account. I guess I'm a bit pickier with accepting freebies or buying on sales.

    That is the result of a deliberate effort. Two year long project to play at least 2 hours of every game in my backlog minimum before I can uninstall it. Until there's nothing let but the dregs. A YouTuber inspired me, except he had a time limit deadline for the video.

    Backlog was 258 games, now 160. Really there's about 30 left worth at least looking at. A lot of old crap from the very first Steam sale in there.

    Most recent from the backlog was Alpha Protocol with some pcgamingwiki fixes. Yep that's been sitting in there a long long time. Loved it so much I finished it!

      Definately one of the more wiser purchase-guys :-) I went a lil nuts when inventory-gifts were a thing. You know, doing what the corporations all do: Exploit globalism to my advantage. But for many years I rarey buy anything anymore, only if i REALLY intend to play it. I’m old, not wise :-)
