This month, I bought 226 PC games for C$185.82 ($134.58)
Now are those a lot of games? Yes, it’s a silly amount of games. Perhaps I’m addicted to good deals that deliver fun.
We all have a vice, and this is mine. I don’t drink, or smoke, or gamble – but I buy lots and lots of video games.
Though back when I was a console gamer, I’d might get eight games for that price – if I were lucky.
LOL. I’ve been collecting video games for nearly 40 years—almost the entirety I’ve been alive—starting with Atari 2600 carts.
So the answer is, I don’t know.
But it’s a lot. And I’m thankful Steam and GOG exists because I’m glad most of it is digital, not physical.
Okay, how about you tell us how many there are in your Steam and GOG library? Should be fairly easy to get those numbers :)
All right, so on Steam, it’s 7,123 collected over 12 years. This includes some free games though. Officially, Steam says I have 5,342—so I assume that’s what I’ve paid for.
On GOG, it says I have 401 games. But a large chunk of that are free games—though not a majority.
On Epic, it says I have 97 games. I have not paid for a single one.
On Xbox Game Store, it says I have seven games. I only paid for one.
On Amazon, I have three games, all free.
And on itch.io, I have three games currently installed—nothing I paid for. But I have my eye on one specific game that I might pay for.
EDIT: I guess this doesn’t count collections that exist on Steam. For example, I recently got a Castlevania Collection that’s contains nine Castlevania games.
Impressive and thank you for supporting the gaming industry this heavily
Does it count as collecting for digital renting?
Of course it’s collecting. But it’s like underwear collecting: you don’t resell it.
Depends on the country ig
