How many games are 'too many'?

I have more games installed than you have in your library. O.o

I'll let you know if I ever get there.

225 is probably the amount of games which my steam updated last time

Considering Depressurizer exists, no amount of games should be too many unless you have a horrible way (or no way) of organizing them.

For sake of the poll I'll say 5K+, even though I have way way more than 5K games across everything.
My PSX Library alone is 1,711 games.

Too many games is only after the point of cutting back food expenses to get more games. Can come at 100 games, can come at 5000. Or you're a lovely support member and you have a problem!

I have 708 games and only 17 of them are installed. xD I guess "too many" games are when they exceed 100. Still, if you have played most of them, then they're not many.

Two games is one too many. If the first one is Crusader Kings 2.

Voted ironically for "50+" since there's never enough games.

There was a person who tries to kill his backlog with 21 games.

No amount is too much if you know how to categorize them.

10000.

Isn't 50+ just anything bigger then 50? Thus it ruined your poll.

I never consider one can have too many games. The reason is simple: whenever I play something I do it because I want, not because of obligation. Hence, the concept of backlog feels rather pointless to me. What interests me more is being able to choose whatever I want, depending on my mood, from a list of candidates. And I like this list to be as big as possible in order to allow for as much variety as possible.

no such thing as too many games, only not enough time...

407 games in my Steam library, and I still want more!

10 games would be a lot if you needed 1000 hours to beat just one of them, so too many is a pretty abstract concept.

if the games were good 160

Most hoarders will choose 5000+
With 1140 games (not counting the many hidden) im already at too much.

I voted on 500+

100-200 good/great games can be 'a lifetime' of worth. The trick bit is wich titles are that worth.
For even the most completionists 500 is too much- its viable to get all their worth and complete every single one of them, but it will take too long already.

Anyway, the numbers will always rise with time.
The point is- if getting your gaming takes most or all of your leisure time then its too much. Any human on earth looses something if they single out one type of entertainment above all the variety there is. TIME is limited and everything competes with everything- so the more you anything the less other things.
Go trekking or on a trip to another country. Watch different movies. Tries scuba diving. In your town and towns nearby im sure theres lots you never experienced.

Id rather gaming had some sort of cheaper renting model. I buy lots of them but i have to- on the cheap cause of prices, lack of demos means buying 'blind', etc.
Owning more, owning volumes- this is meaning nothing to me or my life, at all.

Its never enough

I'll let you know when I reach it.

Never enough if you play them all, I have only played 1/4 of my library because of 'meh' bundle games and crap GA games for idling.

If you have only games you like and want to play, why would there be too many?
If you also have Steam&Bundle crap just for the sake of having them...

The feeling of having too many games started around nr. 400, but if I had just 150 good games I might actually enjoy them more (aka having time to enjoy the whole of them instead of skipping to another game) so that's what I vote for.

Then there's the other part of me screaming for more and more games and to try them all. My grandparents accumulated loads of books to "read them when they retire from work" so I seem to be doing the same with games. Yes, I know. It will not work like this. It did not work for them either

I would say you have hit too many games when you know that you own more than you will realistically be able to ply in your lifetime. There are some exceptions to this, like if you are collecting games for multiple people to play and you like different games or if you are just collecting games for the purpose of collecting and not playing them, but I think that is lame. I'm a gamer, I collect games to play, not to farm cards, +1 my Steam account, gain levels on Steam, and try to impress people.

And if you are wondering, yes, I do think I own too many games. This is because I like so many games and would love to play them all, but realistically I will have to chose the most desirable ones and play those because I will probably not be able to get to them all. Also, I try to finish every game I start. I could easily own over 3000 games right now, but like I said, I don't collect for that reason and I don't want garbage polluting and further complicating my Steam account.
