How fast is your wishlist growing?

[Start_Running]

Seriously. Does anyone else have the problem of the wishlist growing faster than you can whittle it down?

[?!]

Sure. Not terribly surprising with the sheer number of games being released.

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

Nope. I stopped putting everything I see on it a while back. I now make sure it is something that I really want to have on there. Only around 143 games now.

You and me both but of late it seems to be growing faster than I can trim. Or maybe I'm just getting easier.

That's what she said.

But yeah... It is really tempting to put many games I view as average on there just in case I feel like something different. But I just hold off and go through my queue and not mark them not interested so they will come back around. Maybe I'll get them then...?

I have no reason to "whittle it down".

Isthereanydeal polls my Steam wishlist for changes, so I use it to quickly get a game on the waitlist. The waitlist has a couple more entries, though, as it can hold DLCs and various bundles that can't be wishlisted.

[Chilled Nomi]

Mine tends to expand in bursts after long droughts of inactivity to adding stuff to it.

[Garou]

Keeping it around 30 items including DLC. Removing things if for some reason I grow out of wanting the game.

[pm58790]

Just got me a total of 88 items.

[Tempest]

There's only about ten in mine. I have a bit of a backlog like everyone else so I don't add too much to the wishlist.

[FollowsJesus]

mine is up to 50 now, despite buying 200 games this year:P

[Odra]

379 wishlisted, 1,244 owned

There is certainly bloat on mine, mostly because I use it as an "Interested" list rather than a "Wish" list. Plus I keep it synced with IsThereAnyDeal.

The bloat occurs almost every month as I do a custom search for non-indie upcoming games.

The only thing slowing me down is my own self-disgust at the backlog I've built.

5 games, declining. I am pretty fed up with nowaday triple ay titles and macrotransactions in games.

Add the content flipper hell called steam direct, and you can understand why I do not wishlist much games any more.

Additionally are most of the games on other platforms cheaper on sales. So no need to wishlist them here either any longer. I have only feature complete japanese titles on my wishlist, if I think about it ... Games I mostly only can buy here ...

And maybe a backlog from over 500 titles helps to keep me restrained, too.

Now I go back to my modded to hell Skyrim "second life emulator". :)

My wishlist and my games list exceeds 1000 think I need help it's a blackhole at this point it doesn't stop growing 😱 I don't see myself being able to clear my backlog within this lifetime 🫠

[lightwo]

Yep. I prefer not to waste too much money on games nowadays, but I tend to find things I would like to try if I didn't mind spending.

I have no reason to "whittle it down".

My "wishlist" isn't even complete; I use it as a shortcut to get stuff onto the isthereanydeal waitlist, but I might also just add it to the waitlist directly. Especially games that have "bundle editions", when I only want to "wishlist" the bundle, not the basegame.

Regardless of that, the wish/waitlist acts just like a list of potentially interesting things. I usually do another round of checking when a good deal comes up, and I've ignored things forever that I should probably remove, but... that's extra work.
