I have over a thousand games on Steam, and many times I can no longer remember the title of several games I have not played in a long time. I remember what the game is like, but I can’t remember what they are called. So it’s a pain to find them if I feel like playing them.
Nunulu
you will get to play them when games cost $80+
Maaglin
I feel attacked.

When this happens I like to close my eyes, meditate for a minute, and then play Subnautica or Civilization for the next 8 hours.

It’s sad, I already have sixty-nine games and don’t feel like I am physically allowed to buy any more.

This is why you need to break your steam library down by genres or subgroups. Take the time to organize it so when you feel like playing something you can head to that particular group of games. Rather than just scrolling through everything you have.
You can also hide games in your library list. This makes it to where your hidden list is all your backup games. And the normal list you see is what you really expect to play at some point

Then open YouTube and scroll through it for a solid 30 seconds and then close it only to repeat the cycle again.

(Almost) 400 games is what I have too, but I have completed over 200 of them, and got a % rating of finished games of 84%. There are a few games I don’t think I will ever bother to finish all the achievements for. Example: I had all the achievements for GTA 5, then they added some more later. Those achievements requires good players that won’t die so easily on hard in some of the doomsday missions.

It’s the same as a women with a full wardrobe saying “I have nothing to wear”

I have found that if I can bring myself to run the game, I will usually play and enjoy it.
For some reason the hardest part is jumping into the pool. Once you’re in the pool, the water is fine.

400 games in the library, still scrolling like I’m gonna find the one I haven’t played 12 times already.

This is why I essentially only play Truck Simulator or BeamNG.

I have 4653 games on steam and I kinda regret it. Big chunk of that was from bundles I bought for only 1 or two games and redeemed the others just because. I often can’t find a game to play in the sea of titles I own. I know I did this to myself and shouldn’t complain.

I only have 170 but I’ll add a few more before the end of the year, one of which being Stellar Blade. Might buy Last of Us 2 since I have part 1 and it’s a genuinely excellent game anyway.

Close? Nah, just leave it there
ProbShouldntSayThat
I never seem to get an answer on why people have so many games. This subreddit always gives me a circle jerk answer.
So, I ask again… Why do you have so many games?
ThisIsADraconianLaw
Literally me each time I feel like I could start clearing my backlog.
I only show myself installed games (which means 2 or 3) so I open Staem only when I want to play them.
And never mind the rest (>1k).
When i feel an urge to play certain type of game I just check if I have it in my library (or GoG, or Epic – which means just Heroic Games Launcher). Don’t let the algorithm to tell you what to do next.

Blessed be that list of unplayed suggestions Steam shows you, although I’d also like if there was a randomizer to help you pick a random title.
Also, the way prices are going, it will finally be the time to clear off the backlog built along the years before considering buying anything new.

Those are rookie numbers.
