I have a huge backlog of games I’ve bought on sale knowing I would enjoy them, but never got around to playing them. It’s well over 50% of my game library.
The problem for me is that a good game that you really like can easily eat multiple thousands of hours. It’s just a time consuming hobby. And it takes a lot of effort to get started on a new game. I can’t help but think “wouldn’t I rather spend that time improving my ranking in x or y game…”

- qnleigh 1y agoLiterally thousands?? A 40-hour work week for a year is ~2000 hours. Out of curiosity, what's your rough 'playing schedule'?
- D13Fd 1y agoI’ll put 3-4 hours into gaming from around 8:30-12:30 pm after the kids go to bed. It takes the place of most TV, movies, or social media for me. On the weekends it can be a bit more. I also do competitive gaming and during the comp seasons I have some later nights. That has been my schedule since 2008 or so, and it adds up (or so my Steam numbers tell me).
