I’m pretty sure there are tons of people like that. It’s the same for me.

That’s some dedication! Sometimes I wish I would do this more often. I start doing it, then it just fades away… Might be because some of the games don’t apply to my taste, then I forget to keep up with it.

Yeah, that’s pretty common. 200+ games and they don’t even have payment info for me.

I’m honestly astonished they don’t require payment info on file to collect them by this point - initially it’s a way to bribe people into making an account, and now they could bribe a bunch of people into giving payment info and lowering one more barrier to actually buying from them.

If something is free, you’re the product. They still have all your sweet data :)

True, but they are collecting all my data either way since I have an account. I may as well collect the free games.

Do you think Steam or GOG isn’t collecting data on you?
