I've never had a backlogToo poor to buy games he may never play.
My problem used to be that I would get a game and then start playing a different one when a new one came out.
Now my problem is that games are too cheap, so I decide to buy a bunch of games on the basis that I may play them someday.
Especially true with Humble Bundle. 15$ for 10 games, even though I'll only probably play 2 of them? Sign me up! 2 games for 10/15$ I'll definitely play (someday) is usually feels worth it.
I usually consider 10$ to be great bargain bin games.
Or you could buy like 3 games for a dollar. That's 3 games for about the same money as what's in some people's couch. Games stack up pretty quickly.
First 2 Borderlands games for 10$, that sounds great!
Soon afterwards, that 1$ becomes 200$.
Steam sales, that 200$ becomes 500$.
Your Steam account is littered with 200 games that you will probably never play. Even though you'd really like to play about 30 of them.
All the while your life is blossoming into something awesome. School, work, responsibility. Taking more classes than you can count or even think of.
What futile spending has done.
