I remember back in the early-mid 90s I said to a friend ‘wouldn’t it be cool if we had every video game ever made?’ To which he replied, ‘true, but what’s the point if we cannot play them all? I mean you’ll never have the time’.
Since then the number of games have exploded, but even if you froze the clock in 1995 there were already so many games that you spend all your life playing them and not be finished.
Much longer. When I discovered abandonware I became a massive collector. I lost a lot in 2009 due to a crash, but recovered and I ocassionally go on download binges.

We are spoilt for choice since downloadable indie games became a thing about 15 years ago.
Way longer than that.
