A simpler and cheaper way to achieve this is to only buy games you want to and will pay right now. You spend less money on just increasing the ever growing back log. Maybe even reduce it eventually. And if you do want a game and you want to play it right now, it doesn’t really matter what it costs in comparison, as they is probably a game or two per month. The backlog becomes the focus.
I want to play Black Myth: Wukong. If I buy it now, it will cost me $90. If I’m patient and wait a few years, I could get it for a fraction of the price.
Which is exactly what I did with Doom (2016), Skyrim, and Witcher 3. I bought them all for a fraction of their initial retail price.
Now am I bothered about the backlog? No, it will all be played eventually.

LOL. That wouldn’t be cheaper.
