Is it when you've missed the best steam has to offer?

If you are asking about games, it might help if you explain what games you like to play.

Steam is full of games for you to play, plus look outside of steam at stores such as Battlenet, Uplay, EA access, Epic, GOG and gamespass etc.

There are so many good and fun games, I find it very, very hard to believe people can't find something to enjoy.

I call it gamer's block.... when the user's choice is endless, the mind simply stops functioning.

Im going through this stage again, even tho I have over a thousand games to choose from across many platforms and clients I have/use... I have nothing worthy to play.

I'm having the opposite problem. I have over 200 games in my waiting to played list in my library but have hard time deciding what to play next. That I keep buying more than I have time to play with isn't helping.

Advice from someone who has been there.... stop buying games even if that game is 80% off in a sale. I have spend a fortune on buying games in sales (mostly on steam but also on xbox, PS, EA, uplay, Epic and so on). Games I have not even installed let alone play, games I will never ever get round to playing period.

I know the fear of missing out on a bargain but if your never playing said games, then your just throwing money away for nothing.

More often than not people who make threads complaining about "nothing there" seem to always play similar stuff. Or MP stuff. People who don't diversify will run into gaming burnout much sooner.

Same with only playing games and not having other hobbies/interests, mind.

Same, my backlog is big, plenty to play. In the past I too had decision issues, but I've changed my approach a few years ago. Nowadays I keep the most important, or most priority, part of my backlog installed. So often I just boot up something random and go from there. Since doing that I've knocked off quite some games from the backlog and had less choice-crisis moments.

You do have a point tho... but I believe in my case, im just getting older and want to do other things with my partner, kids or friends instead of gaming.

At the moment, I rather be a mate's house drinking a cup of tea and talking about how we miss the old trio from top gear... seriously, im old before my time

When people talk about their backlogs, it's just a excuse to keep buying cheap games on sale. They say to themselves, well if I buy now, I will add it to my backlog of games and will get round to playing it laters... which basically mean I will never play that game ever

[TGC> The Games Collector]

Maybe it's not Steam, or even the video games.
(Although a bit of a burn out might be plausible)

Go out for a walk, enjoy the fresh stench of the city, flee back inside and remember why you got so many video games.
Sometimes these issues can be solved by simply clearing your mind a bit.

It is more about the gaming industry than Steam, who is only an intermediary between them and you.

There is sites for that. You enter the name of all your games you own and hit the randomizer.

imo they just do not make games the way they used to, most things are washed out, not as fun, dont get me wrong there are a few games that are not washed out and fun but there very far few and between where in like 2012-2018 you had so many new and fun games coming out with differnt concepts and stuff but now barley anything all i see most of the time are remasters and not to mention the new games you dont even find cause theyre under the pile of marketing of all the old still going games like cod, cs, ac ect

[primeinsurrection]

I think the problem is most of the development is being done by big companies that are just out of touch. Not many gamers have the time and money to get a next level game accomplished. Its just a matter of time.
