See that mountain? It's made of games you'll never finish.
Choice. That's one thing a PC gamer is never short of, thanks to cheap games, seasonal sales, and pay-what-you-want bundles. Over the years my Steam library has grown into a vast, overwhelming thing, bursting with games I've never, or barely, played.
When games were a rare commodity, and I could only afford one, maybe two, a month, I'd bleed them dry—even if they weren't very good. I'd squeeze every possible morsel of enjoyment out of those big cardboard boxes until I got my money's worth. Some people have tried inventing methods to tackle their piles of shame. I know people who've gone through their libraries alphabetically. Some write lists of games and score them off as they finish them. Me, I tried deleting every game in my library but one, telling myself I'd only install another once I'd finished it. I lasted about a week.
When you buy a game in a sale for a stupidly low price, you feel like it's a victory. It tickles the pleasure receptors in your brain. But, ultimately, all you're doing is adding another floor to your already towering skyscraper of shame. As the years pass, your office block of shame becomes an Empire State Building of shame, then a Burj Khalifa of shame. When will it end? As long as PC games keep being so damn affordable, probably never.
