Have you ever thought about cleaning your wishlist on Steam?

Steam wishlist is the same as steam library - you add there games to never play them. But, unlike the library, this is free. Why would someone want to abandon it?

I put games in my wishlist if they somehow interest me. If I buy them when they are discounted is another question.
I have 477 games in my wishlist (including DLC's, Addons, etc.) and will remove some if I am not interested in them anymore (still early access, bad patches, whatever)

I clean my wishlist out regularly.
That's how I keep somewhat close to my goal of keeping it under 100 titles. (Not that I'm reaching that goal, but as long as I keep trying I can keep the list a bit under control)

i have considered it alot, in fact i did ages ago, i went from 100 to 0. thats when i decided to add everything in so im at the point of like 1400, i never plan to win them all, 28 isnt even on steam and about 100 is from dlc. i add everything mainly so i have more options and if i win it on here then thats great too. i could do with cleaning them out and i still am in the process of deleting stuff that i dont actually want in my library forever. clearing it all out now though would take forever and even if i was at 100 again it will be the ones i want the most, the ones that i would be disappointed to never get to try for myself

I removed several games a while ago. Now the worst thing i have is games that was great.. 20 years ago but probably never going to get played if i ever buy them, That and the 100's of DLC's i "want" to complete certain games. So i'm good now!

I spent during the holidays a few hours watching "let's play" videos of all the games on my wishlist. My wishlist shrunk by half.

I put most of my wishlist games because it's easier to browse SteamGifts. Most of the game are bundle games but I don't want to buy the whole bundle for only 1 game so I add them to my wishlist. I currently have 115 games on my wishlist and I really want max top 20 of it. The rest not so much but if they come by I will play them :)

I tend to use Lorenzo's page to clean up my wishlist, because Steam doesn't even manage to sort the list by their own ratings appropriately.
Using the Wilson score and filtering tags, makes it a lot easier to clean up the wishlist, though it still is an annoying task.

I only wish there'd be an easy way to rank games on Steam's wishlist. That's is even far more painful than to reduce the list.

Why so low options?

I have removed somethings but when i check later steam still has them on it somehow so i just buy them when they are on sale or in a bundle xD

-11k wishlists for me,difficult to ogranize :(

I try to keep mine under 300 most of the time. Most are games that I would play, and not just there for show.
The more I play of certain genres can affect my wishlist as well, when I find I don't actually like that genre so much.
Some also make the list due to being the solo items in a bundle that would otherwise make it expensive, and allows for trading matches on ST or barter.

Did so last year or so, I went from well over 400 (maybe even closer to 500) to about 250, meanwhile it has grown back up to almost 290, mostly because I'm not really following new releases, and only make the one odd out addition every now and then.

But, like others, besides being a wishlist, I also use it as a game bookmarking system of sorts; my browser's bookmarks are absolutely HUGE, because it costs literally nothing to add a page, and you think you'll find it easily next time it is needed, whereas actually removing links, requires the time and effort of going through them. The same applies to my wishlist, I need to take a good look at the game and ask myself "am I still interested in this? am I going to play it? is it something I will really be able to enjoy?"

Sometimes the call is pretty easy to make; like when then the game was added before release, and meanwhile, it transpired that it's not great. Or maybe there's now a demo, or I read some impressions around and figured out that it's not my cup.

Think I'll probably do another clean up run, sooner or later.

PS: I have that in my WL, too. I was checking on it just yesterday!

I prefer "follow the games", when there is something new it appears in activity and it stays far from my eyes most of the time.
At same time, i try to keep a very short wishlist, 10-15 max, because i feel it's extremely tempting. So ideally i prefer empty wishlist.

Not really.
The only reason I have a wishlist in the first place now is to easily find them on Steamgifts. I don't really buy from Steam.

I only have 7 games and I'm probably never going to buy the 2 of them (I'm mostly checking out their development). The steam wishlist is supposed to exist in order to add the games you're really interested, not to add all the existing steam games.

Like many others I use the wishlist to remember about interesting games so I have almost 500 titles in it. Some I'd buy even at a mild discount, others I'd wait for a heavy discount.

Maybe they should make a "favorite" option in the wishlist like the one in the library to remember about games we'd really really want :p

Sorry for hijacking your topic with stupid questions, but I have like 1000+ items in my wishlist and since that wishlist visual update and can't open it at all in steam, chrome or internet explorer - basically anywhere. Any ideas on how to deal with the problem? The only thing I can use to figure which of my wishlisted things are on sale now is steamdb sale page, but it doesn't allow to sort games by my wishlist ranking. I can't even reorder my wishlist ranking.

I have a really short wishlist (about 20 titles), only with the most wanted games. It's like a to-do list for me (it's annoying to look at), so I like to keep it short and tidy. However, I see interesting games from time to time what I have to track - so I have a Followed games list with about 250-300 titles.

I did massive cleaning from 500 to 150 once, but now i am around 420 again

I have not, since it is already empty. :3

I just recently (one or two weeks ago) cleared my wishlist from 850 to 50. Think I'm at 51 atm.
Edit: I wish there was a 4th option; wishlist, follow, seen, ignore. So I know if I've seen the games before. I prefer to follow early access and not yet released and only want to ignore the ones I don't want to play. Now I'm kinda following games I kinda wanna play but not enough to add them to my wishlist.
Edit 2: Don't forget about games you wishlisted at some time but was since removed from the store - they still count in your wishlist.

I use my Wishlist more as a way to remember games that look good rather than games I intend to buy. I usually go through it before every big sale and get rid of games I'm not quite as interested in anymore. I'll probably purge a few games from it before the winter sale (then fill it up again doing exploration queues!).

I use the wishlist as a reminder for the games I want to play, mostly older and smaller games, so I dont forget about them.
Soo hmmm yeah, I kinda use wishlist as an actual wishlist, stuff thats interesting to me that I will get in the future at some point. \o/
