Per the article you posted (interesting read BTW!)

With digital hoarding, however, the act of saving the file becomes an uncontrollable urge.

“It means that they’ve lost the choice — they feel they have to save it. If they do not, they may feel uncomfortable and, more often than not, anxious that they may need to have access to the information and it’s not going to be there,” he says.

I’m not sure “picking up some games you might want to play when they are on an extremely good sale” qualifies as Digital Hoarding, per the definition.

It is very common for people to joke about how big their backlog is. I’m not sure we can call buying things you’re never going to play as frugal. I’m on autism spectrum and do both regular and digital hoarding occasionally but I’m a bit more mindful about it ever since I admitted it. Many people seem to be in denial.

I’m sure there are folks who fall under that umbrella. But I was more responding in the context of this specific comment thread.
