This month, I bought 226 PC games for C$185.82 ($134.58)

Now are those a lot of games? Yes, it's a silly amount of games. Perhaps I'm addicted to good deals that deliver fun.

We all have a vice, and this is mine. I don't drink, or smoke, or gamble -- but I buy lots and lots of video games.

Though back when I was a console gamer, I'd might get eight games for that price -- if I were lucky.

No, no, not an insult. Like, literally are they a very young person and so 200 games is all they had the time to get around to. Like the OP I have thousands of games because it's been decades of building them up. Even just on Steam I've had what, twenty years? Just my Humble Bundle subscription has probably spat out more than 200 games, just because it's been on for long enough.

If you're young you have less disposable income and less time, so you don't have time to build up a library and you have more time to spend with each thing you get.

I mean, I still had what? 30/50 Mega Drive games by the end of that generation, and those were, inflation adjusted, maybe what, 200 bucks each?

For the record, I touched grass yesterday and that movie sucked.
