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.

You’ll have to stop buying eventually to play through them all or you’re always gonna have some left in the backlog at that rate. Oo maybe you can hand down your library to your kids and they can continue on the effort

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
