How do people have so many games?

[tomek z wołomina]

Wondering about it for some time, often I see players with 100+ games, even reaching 1000. How is that possible? Also got some questions for this:

1. Do you play the games you have?
2. How long does it take to achieve such number?
3. Are they/most of them free?

And do you uninstall these games or just keep em on the computer? It would be kinda crazy to have downloaded 1000+ games and never delete them... rip disk space :’D

Just curious.

1. I can't talk for everyone but yes I try to beat a game 100% then move on to the next one if I feel like it at the time or wait a bit.
2. That depends on the user, if one has more money to spend on games if could take them a hand full of sales to get a lot of game or bundles.
3. There have been a lot of games free over the years, some Valve gave away, devs have been known to do this and then there are giveaway sites that give games away.

I keep the ones I play every day installed but I do uninstall games I no longer play or have beaten to make room for the next batch I'll be playing.

I try to get at least my moneys worth. sometimes I don't because life things. If I don't feel I will get some worth I refund.

Other things like Planes for DCS that I don't fly much but I might someday! hehe

Where do you guys store so many games? You must have huge drives. Servers maybe?
I have to uninstall mine even with a 1 TB drive.

I've got 1632 installed out of 1879, i've got a 12TB HDD and 3 4TB drives, aswell as 2 250GB SSD's

Buy them on sale back when there where actuqlly sale that matters. Buying on humble bundle and such sites. Note that most dont play them all either "just saving it for a rainy day" but in reality it goes to their backlogg (mine including).
Sulotion its better to have an account with few but quality games that you like then having over 1000 games with only few games that you actually play on regular basis imo.

I use humblebundle, and other sites like G 2 A. I also wait for sales. I'd say 90% of the games on my account were attained at a cheaper price, I rarely ever pay full price for any of my games.

1. I do have problems buying games and never finishing them. But that's just me.
2. Depends on how much you're willing to spend, there are sales often.
3. You have to take into consideration that most games that show up in their profiles may not even be in their actual library. If you download an F2P game, and later uninstall it, the game will disappear from your library; however, the title will not disappear from your profile. My profile says I have 361 games in my library, when I only have 273 titles in my library.

Most of my games are installed on my hard drive, I'm using an 8tb Seagate HDD.

Because i have the space to do so and it means i don't have to wait for it to download when i want to play which ever game.

Bundles, sales, and offers I could not refuse. It just happened.

I am collecting games my whole life. And of course there are some games I did not even install or played once.

The positive thing about such a collection is, that you never ever are tempted again to buy crappy and unfinished scammy minimum viable products (MVP) called live services on release day ever again. We can wait until they finished their ♥♥♥♥, and sometimes get the games even for free or on a deep, deep sale. Got Destiny 2 for free that way. And Battlefield 1 complete for 5 bucks on origin. And now I wait until "Far Cry New Dawn" drops to a standalone addon DLC price under 15 bucks.

Even if gaming would collapse this moment, we could sit that out untill it starts again, playing all the games in our backlog in the meantime.

Those game you can see on Steam, aren't even all the game I "own". There are many more I can play on emulators. Or on other platforms.

Very simple: I didn't even buy most of them, at least "not really". A lot of them come from giveaways (there was a time when giveaways were crazy common), or from bundles that I bought for other games.

1. Do you play the games you have?

Most of them, no. There are games that are actually bought -- I bought them as a single game (or in a package with its DLCs, which is basically the same thing), or I bought a bundle BECAUSE it had the game(s). Those are the ones that actually count, and that I might pick as "the next game" to play when I finish one.

Everyting else -- giveaways, bundle by-catch etc. -- is unlikely to ever catch my eye.

And do you uninstall these games or just keep em on the computer?

No sure what you are asking. I never install games unless I want to play them.
