Suggestion : Steam stops pretending its 1000 game accounts are real

[76561199540158642]

Clearly any of us who have used steam forums know the infamous group of counterproductive trolls that circle around steam, why would trolls have 1000's of games on steam and 10 or 15 year old accounts seems a little weird.

suggesting that steam stops pretending those accounts belong to real people as steam staff uses the accounts to interactive aggressively with topics to derail them. we are not fooled, its clear steam is losing the game, and that game is relevance in a market full of free games and other game stores that gift users with free games.

i won't name any names because everyone already knows what the other platforms are, the balls now in steams court do they want to keep pretending, or will they simply show up to win.

Nobody is overly impressed now a days with users showing 1000's of games on steam, in fact its sorta stupid to think that a user would pay that kinda money for games, I am stating facts here that in a world of free gaming that we currently have going on in both mobile and pc games, steam is making a Fool of itself by using 1000 game accounts to try and convince users they are really other users on steam like this.

but how do you explain owning 2000 games but only played 50 some odd games this years, that is a pretty low number for owning 2000 games?

Ever heard about game collectors? Not the number played is important to such users but the number of games in the library overall.

I personally collect more than i play, what does that say about me?

And it's not just the collecting aspect, I have physical copies of games I bought that are still in the original shrink-wrap. I have every intention of playing every game I buy, but the reality of time prevents me from doing so.

I finally, just this year, started playing and completed the most recent Tomb Raider trilogy. I bought each one of those when initially released, so it took me, what 10 years to finally get around to playing the first one? That's just the way it is sometimes.

And some people will buy games just to fill out holes.
I mean you have 12 and 4 ina franchaise, you're gonna probably snag 3 just to plug that weird gap.

And the very simple truth is Very few if any users set out with the intention of having a 1000 games. It just happens. Un planned and it's just as much of a shiock to the person when they see they have the 1K gamesbadge.

You see a game you like. buy, you see another, buy.. and after a few years ...


It's the natural side effect of a store that is packed with stuff you wanna buy.

Yup, the backlog gets bigger and bigger and at some point you have so many choices... it's overwhelming at times.

And at that point, i really doubt people know what games they already own, if Steam wouldn't highlight we already do, people would buy multiple games multiple times, haha.

That's true. And all the good bundles sometimes, there may be 5-10 games in one and before you blinked with both eyes... BOOM! 1K games reached.

Not just that. One can use multiple platforms or devices. Heck, one can have 2000 games on Steam, play 50 games on Steam and have and play dozens as well on Switch/Xbox/PS/EA App/Battle net/Epic/GOG/etc.

But obviously such things get ignored because that user is only interested in trying to put bad light onto users they don't agree with. It's all merely bad mouthing that they do.

Funnily enough, most people that have thousands of games on Steam don't even post in the forums. So the users whole narrative is shot by default anyway.

This is very much true. Like seriously.
There's a give away thread and half the time I see something that makes me go "Ooh that looks fun" I click to peek at the store page ( to check the reqs) only to met with a bitg green play button.

The backlog is REAL.
And it HUNGERS

Ya I certainly never planned on passing 1k. But I'd see a game that I wanted to play at a good price (or in a good bundle) and buy it. The intentions for me of course are always to play them, but it doesn't always work out like that. Whether it's because you get sucked into another game, lack time, are spending your free time on another hobby or whatever reason. Hell, for me Factorio basically encompassed a full two years of gaming where I wasn't playing much of anything else.

And who knows what the next Factorio will be for me, but whatever it is, the backlog will only continue to grow through that period of time. *shrugs* Some people won't understand that or will think it's silly and fair enough, but ultimately it is at the end of the day....my money.

Exactly, i have dozens of games in Epic due to free offerings, never played any of it but they are also mostly games i do not own on Steam, perfect example.

I assumed as much, honestly.

That may be because they are busy, in any case, we shall not take the bait, as we are all Steam's inventory, haha.

Same happened to me, at some point i started at 0 but the games came literally flying in and whoopsie, 1K reached! I have no time to play it all, OP thinking you can play thousands of games is simply far away from the truth, time constraints really do exist. So much for that.
