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.

    There are at least 200 games at my local arcade. Few people beat them—and no one bats an eye at this fact.

    I don’t see why PC games should be any different.

    Is my intent to beat each game or is it just to have fun?

      That’s a pretty big arcade. There were maybe a couple dozen in my go-to, if that.

      I wonder if that’s where the generational thing comes from. I definitely sunk a lot of money in machines where I never got that far. Of the assortment I had access to in arcades I saw the end of story mode in maybe a handful. I was quite proud of 1cc-ing Double Dragon once. Otherwise it was considered to be a waste of money to dump money in continues. You’d play the first two stages of Metal Slug a million times and never see past them and everybody thought that was just how gaming was supposed to work.
