Posted April 16, 2014 Some of my games I have on steam listed as 0 hours played is not true. They are old games I had before there was steam that I have played for hours and hours. I have later on added them to steam but not started afterwards. Exampels are: Fallout III, IL-2 Sturmovik, CIV IV, Half Life 2.

Posted April 16, 2014 I recently counted up a similar statistic for my own games list. Out of 324 games (though there are a few duplicates for some reason...) there are 160 that I have not played for more than 30 minutes. There's a few in there that I tried and decided I did not WANT to play any longer, but let's call those the extreme minority. I like to think that hey, at least I have a handful of games I've played for ~150 hours, but no, I'm terrible. This wallet damage is a few years old, I've grown a little wiser, but I will need to be a lottery winner or unemployed for a lengthy period to ever play down that backlog.

Posted April 17, 2014 I have got 357 games on steam, in a time span of 13 months. 90% of them are out of bundles and such and a few from sales I didn't play yet (Fallout, LA Noire, etc ).

Posted April 17, 2014 I can definitely relate to this. ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ raise your dongers ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ It feels as though no games ever leave the BETA stage anymore, until about 3 years after it officially releases. - Shd0w2 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 17, 2014 well i know when i get a game for free that i do not care for too much, i often do not play it unless im extremely bored or something. But it does add value to my steam account so who cares?

Posted April 17, 2014 Garry's mod - 800 hours GTA IV - 450 hours Skyrim - 250 hours Fallout NV - 150 hours Everything else has under 50 hours if I've even touched it at all. Doesn't really matter because software has no real value and Valve is making a huge profit whether we actually play the games or not.

Posted April 17, 2014 Too many games, too little time. It doesn't help that I don't feel compelled to play games much anymore either. Even if I'm really excited to play something and follow it up till release, it comes out, I buy it, and it just sits in my library untouched. If I do decide to play it, I struggle to finish it even if the game is fun.

Posted April 17, 2014 My line of thinking: Fallout New Vegas only 2$? Well I'm sure one day when I'll have no internet for a while that'll be the perfect game to keep me busy. Some say he is still waiting for that day... Well hopefully you have it downloaded and installed prior to you losing internet...

Posted April 17, 2014 And by the way isn't it funny that on the one side, we all admit to own games we haven't even played, yet on the other side we have Activision (through Blizzard) and EA forcing always-online DRM? Somehow, I really don't see the huge, apocalyptic, multi-billion dollar loss of profits due to the evils of piracy when we all have games we haven't even fucking played yet we already paid for. This is what Valve means by distribution problem, I have another revised term however: Piracy is a pricing problem. Look at all this companies making profits out of games people did not even care to install and play (I'm pretty damn sure nobody would go out of their way to pirate this games if they don't care enough to download and play their legally purchased copies) and just like to have the option to eventually play. ------- Current Rig ------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 17, 2014 My Steam Profile (from SteamDB) Worth: $1116.24 Games owned: 92 Games not played: 53 Percentage: 58% Hours spent: 306.5h Figures. KOTOR, Counterstrike and Supreme Commander are my largest offenders, but I just don't game enough on PC to make spending EVEN MORE worth it. That 1200 is also matched by 1200 in consoles and games for those, but I damn well know I put more time into the consoles. Shit, MW2 alone was 200 hours of playtime, Halo 3 was...at least triple that. Lets not even get into NHL. I feel bad for wasting so much on Steam sales, but I do it anyways. Its not some positive. The sales savings add to nothing if, as clearly shown, I'm not even playing the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 18, 2014 Steam isn't doing it, the developers making the bad games getting themselves on Steam are doing it. The only reason why this is happening is because people complained Steam was too heavy-handed, so they changed the policy to laissez faire, which is worse. While the devs are the ones dumping the games, Steam's change in policy is the root of the problem.

Posted April 18, 2014 I gotta say that there isn't much Steam can do about this. This is like going to your local store and complaining to the manager "You don't have enough soft drink products!" and then 2 months later complaining "You have too many of this cheap, knock off soft drink products" I mean Coke and Pepsi are still being sold, you're the ones who bitched about the lack of puke-cola choices on the shelves and now you want em gone? ------- Current Rig ------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 18, 2014 IM sort of a culprit, Ill play a few games off my normal ones, then go back to the staple of Arma 2 and GTA IV. Wouldn't be surprised though, I sometimes just buy games because there a good deal, not because I like them. Mostly indies, so im not a huge prick supporting pointless buying. Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof. As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
