Steam users have spent $19 billion on games they’ve never played

Whether it’s Diablo 4, Cyberpunk 2077, or Red Dead Redemption 2, our collective Steam pile of shame is worth enough to buy a country.

I'm part of the problem. :\

I have more games that I haven't played than ones that I have. By A LOT.

Same i am that weird gamer that buys bundles on the cheap i like humble bundle that way donate to a charity and get a great bundle were 1 or 2 out of 5 i like but then will try the other 3 sometime.

Then you got the publisher/steam made bundles like a few months back i got every batman pc game from the arkamverse for $25 on GOG.

No doubt there will be people hating on this or say crap about pc but in reality it shows how restrictive consoles are with there one store to buy monopoly bs.

By the way new bundles are being tossed out in 15hours time i would recommend this site donate locally or too registered centers that help out veterans like i do. It has a pay what you want feature so lower the amount on the right.

Yea, Humble Bundle and Fanatical are where I got a large amount of my VR games specifically. The deals are just too good to pass up.

Honestly, I'm amazed how much the games I haven't played are worth, but I know it's all Humble Bundle's fault XD

Been hearing that for all platforms in general. Backlog this and that but yet whine about a game not coming to that platform or some other toxic thing thats been heard so much like bruh you have plenty of games go play and be in your own zone.

That meme of a nerd defending a multi billion dollar company is so true in many areas now. Even with huge backlogs they come out to defend even though there defending a pile of fresh shit in a dessert.

Yup. Sounds about right. I have over 30 games on Steam. i've bought that I have never even launched on my PC. lmao. and about 15 PS5 games i havent touched as well.

I have hundredS of games that i didnt play in psn and steam. Though i have a habit that as long its the best deal im gonna get it even i dont like it, being have that game in my library does give me peace of mind that anytime whenever i feel like to play it i can play it. I never pay full priced game not unless its gta6 next year. Im hard to pleased when it comes to full priced games

[DustMan]

I have the same habit as you. "it'll never be cheaper than this!" when I see a deep discount. Cut to 10 months later..."oh yeah, maybe I'll try it next week."

[Luc20]

I'm one of them but all were cheap games on steam sale

Good business. digital products like digital money have away about it to where people will give money for nothing more so than other types of products. It's a good business.

[purple101]

this is like gift cards for shops,

very lucrative when they all know 10% are getting lost/forgotten about or just simply not cashed in

its free money,

physical games you can trade in, or give to a friend,

[anast]

Exactly

[gold_drake]

i feel called out. ha.

[vTuro24]

How dare you call me out like that.

I blame Humble Bundle (mostly). >.>

[BlackCountryBob]

Not on Steam, but realised I bought Everybodys Gone to the Rapture the day it was released 9 years ago and yesterday was the first time I loaded it to play (not bad so far).

Anyone able to beat a 9 year gap between buying and playing a game in their backlog?

[CosmicRavenN3]

Damn, my best is about 7 years between getting The Last of Us on PS4 and playing it XD You have me beat!

[Rainbowcookie]

Backlog?
