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.

    I don’t have to play through them all, though. I’m content with a few minutes.

    Why should video games provide hours of entertainment?

    When I grew up, that wasn’t the expectation. You played Donkey Kong for a moment, then you moved over to Galaga.

      I guess it depends on the price point. I suppose even an hour or so I’d be content with if it cost me less than a dollar, you expect a lot more out of a pricier game though
