who is joining me: don't buy any games till next winter sale

Biggest challange: dont buy games at all from now!

After this winter sale ends I will join. The summer sale though will be my greatest enemy. If I won't get anything for that sale then the year won't be a problem for me.

may be if everyone stop buying and start finish the games they bought, valve decides the games sales isnt good, and start giving -80-90% discount. Do u guys can hold that off?

I like the idea. I have quite a backlog growing and I don't think it's a good idea to throw too much more on the pile until I play through some of these first.

That said, I already have GTA V pre-ordered and if Tomb Raider is as good as it's looking... I may not be able to resist. How about we do the idea... but we get two free slots for games coming out this year as a buffer? :-]

I buy games for charity purposes. My future kids will play them.

I can still pirate them right? With Bioshock Infinite and Metro: Last Light coming there is just no way I'll do this. Best of luck to those who will though.

I have 125 games on my backlog and going to make my 2013 goal for 200 games in my backlog, but not buying steam games is easier as amazon, gmg, and even gog has some better deals on games than steam nowadays.

And I thought I was being original with my backlog restriction.

Hmm, when is the next Steam Sale? Easter or Summer Sale?

I always wait until the sales, to be honest.

I like to co-op so there is no way I'll pass up some of the better co-op titles just to get through my backlog

I'm going to lay off the single-player purchases for now. Got too many games to finish. I'll still be purchasing MP games though.

But... I have Starcraft II: Heart of The Swarm on pre-order. Do I lose when I get charged and the game gets shipped?

I have already started this I will not buy ANY games unless UNDER extreme pressure from bundles/sales

EDIT: I'll probably only redeem bundle games...I have about 20 games in backlog

I've told myself that I'm done buying games for a year multiple times throughout this sale. I've caved each time. Nothing to do but keep trying, I suppose. :o

You mad bro?

alright, challenge accepted.

Excluding "I am Alive" and "Risen 2" if they are on sale. I am waiting for this too long now. And excluding indie games. I will give them all a try but things like Blocks that Matter and rochard are boring for me after 1,2 hours

I will join you. But if another good multiplayer game comes out; like chivalry: medical warfare or natural selection 2 comes out I will still get it.

Fiddlecocks.

I can't pass up an indie bundle. Plus the size of my backlog won't matter when The Cave releases. Can't stop a Double Fine fanboy.

i am in :)

No way to do this. I'll buy GTA V.

I'll just skip reading all the comments because I don't feel like it and say- nope. If a game I happen to want comes on a really good deal and I have the resources, of course I'll get it. No sense of missing opportunities(which might not happen again) just because I think I have too many stuff. Think for the future! :D

I think this is a great idea. I made a post a while back about some of us becoming game horders. I have a handful of games I bought / won and never played them. Shame.

I can't wait to joi.. Oops, bought something else.

This group isn't for me, but good luck!
