Are you a Gamer or a Game Collector?

Easily both. Thousands of games on multiple systems, but still beat between 60 - 80 a year.

How do u know the % of the games that are unplayed ? I wouldn't know to answer that

I only play games I preorder.
Also I almost never preorder.

;)

gamer AND collector. Also, I dont have internet to download anything right now. Also, I own about 100 games on steam and 3 or 4 on gog.com (cant buy there since I have no credit card and they have no gog wallet. Had to ask some friends to get me cossacks and tropico 1,2. Still cant get neverwinter nights diamond.

it's because now we have so much games and 90% of them don't really worth time to spent

Don't think it would be fair to call myself a game "collector" since I think that implies using judgement, i.e. buying this game, but not that one. If you're a coin collector, you don't put every random coin you stumble upon into your collection. :)

So, unfortunately I think I'm just a game accumulator. :) Aha, a new bundle! Do I already own all of it? If yes, save my money. If no, buy it. :)

IM a gamer

However i used to have a great collection of console games before i was robbed. (multiple times)

That was a few years ago still have them i think my outbreak was stolen (its too sad to look into the room)
actually its sad to know that it used to look like this.. and 80% of it all got stolen by family members.. drugs is bad hey.
it was like this

and grew much much larger

so yeah PC is it for me digital downloads i used to be nah i want to hold it. but honestly the resell value is utter crap and if its stolen its a mission to buy your collectors edition etc.

but yes some ppl just buy games for the amount of it. i play mine

sure i havent played all of mine but im enjoying what im playing with atm maybe too much to get the next game.
hell check my playfire profile. https://www.playfire.com/oujisan

i try to be both, but lately i haven't got the time to be a gamer :(

steamdb calculator:
Games owned 778
Games not played 275 (35%)

(it lies, btw - i idle a lot of games for cards, and a lot for playfire rewards :P)

Gamer, 309 games / 96 (31%) not played
I mostly buy games on sale and try to play through as many as possible. I don't care much for 100% completion, I'm satisfied by beating them once. There are some where I've done 3 or 4 playthroughs though.

Gamer. Although I've been busy lately, I only have about 6 games or so I haven't played yet, mainly due to unplayable bugs.

I'm a gamer, but I have a LOT of unplayed games, because I don't have a really good computer ;)

Collector :(

I'm a gamer, but currently a collector due to a limited bandwidth.
TL;DR, I'm collecting to play later.

Interesting Question!

I personally try to be a gamer and to withstand the Hunters and Gatherers urge fueled by bundles a little bit. :)

YES

Both, I only started buying games on Steam exactly one year ago (before that I spend 1500EUR on League of Legends skins and stuff), before last year I played Counter-Strike from 1999 until now so that's why I never bought games on Steam, also because I played MMORPG's alot. In one year I collected 277 games on Steam. I try to play many of them.

449 owned, 49% not played, so both I guess? Eventually I will get around to them all :P

almost Gamer but mostly Collector
Games owned: 1771
Games not played: 1120 (63%)

I also discovered that become a collector.
Well maybe I always been one, during a lot of years downloaded most of the games I wanted to play. Played half and deleted the rest. After that reduced both amounts and enjoyed more reading industry news. Now I don't download, not read about the industry (much less than before), but I'm getting all the games I have a bit of interest on them, although I fail on the part of playing them. It's curious, but I have the feel is much easier now to get them for a reasonable price, and considering the time to pirate a game (depends on the popularity, the weight and the effort the producer dedicates to pursue the links) which is cost, and not precisely cheap, it's also a more intelligent option.
Sorry for being a bit offtopic, but that's part of the process that made me arrive here. Not only I changed a bit, the market changed completely, much more on my country.

• Games owned: 701
  • Games not played: 617 (88%)

A bit of both.

I can never pass up a deal on something that tickles my interest.

Unfortunately I prefer to finish a game before moving on to its sequel [even if I already have it], some games I end up with buyers (or winners, lol) remorse because the game actually sucks (or at least I find it sucky), too many other games on my plate, life interruptions, et cetera.

Games owned 289
Games not played 180 (62%)

That is just Steam and does not include Blizzard, Desura, On Live, GOG/DRM free, Origin, Uplay, PSP, or Wii.

Depends on how you look at it. I've got a bunch of bundle games I'll probably never play--and really don't want to. They're there because there was a game in the bundle I thought looked interesting.

I've also got a huge backlog. I'm just not able to keep up with the sales. I like to play through games in order so I'm sitting on a bunch of sequels right now.

Gamer, just with a bit of a backlog. Some are waiting until I can get a good Xbox controller, which has to wait til I get a job. Got an interview either this week or next I think, so here's hoping.

Games owned: 368

Games unplayed: 145 (39%)

Probably both. I'm more of a collector though, I have hundreds of consoles games (physical copies) and I haven't played most of them.

• Games owned 1162
• Games not played 788 (68%)
• 2,908.9h (61.2h last two weeks)

Wait, you can play these games?!?

Games owned 1146
Games not played 714 (62%)

Collecting has been a new addiction of mine. Only been doing it for about 6 months now. Since I have, I am playing more games than I use to. I would say I probably spend more time collecting and trading than I do actual playing though.

Oddly enough, I do spend quite a bit less on alcohol each month now. SWIM spends less each month on more controversial substances as well.
