Same here.
May I suggest you a few things that might help you keep your backlog smaller

I'm just gonna talk for myself because I imagine my case isn't representative of everyone with a bunch of games. As someone who has recently reached 4k games in his steam account I wasn't aiming for that number to grow that much, in fact I kinda promised myself to stop impulsively buying so many games back when I reached 3k a few years ago, it's just that I see a lot of stuff that looks like I'd enjoy playing from the trailer and then I end up not having enough time or will to actually play them. Those large backlogs with impressive numbers are many times just a source of anxiety for their owners, a problem that got out of hand long ago.

I guess many of us started early, when every game was a +1 and there were plenty of bundle sites around, some offering very cheap games. Those days are over now though, and DIG is really the only major holdout (IG isn't as cheap). It was easy to get a huge library for not a whole lot of money back then.

Exactly. I started out when limited games weren't even a thing. Every game gave +1, the average quality of games was a lot higher than today and sites like Groupees were still good. I stopped caring about adding new +1 games a long time ago. But my library was already quite big when all these things happened.
I am still in a Indiegala group buy thing, though. Haven't canceled it yet, because it really doesn't cost much money. It's basically the only thing that's left from my collector days. But I am really lazy when it comes to activating those games. I actually started activating them some months ago, and some of the gift links I still haden't used were 1.5 years old. ^^

The most will NEVER get a +1
Because DIG is a shady shop, with mostly crap games, that get sold, before they reach the DIG store, in shady ru shops.
Nearly none of that games get enough sold on steam, partly because of the unrealistic high price on steam - that animate people to buy such bundles on DIG because "so much worth and i get it for such a low price".
In the end it is "buy crap, get crap".

if as you seem to you want to waste money only getting more +1 getting bundles from humble or fanatical are better ways to go

Games don't get +1 from 'becoming approved', games get +1 from selling enough copies and making enough revenue directly through the Steam store. Key sales do not count for that purpose.

Title, do people who buy bulks DIG games ever had them become approved and thus adding +1 to the library or they remain uncategorized forever?
