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.

sounds like you just buy them cause they are cheap. most of them are probably slop. i bought a ton of games below 1 dollar at kinguin, but those were actually in my whishlist, i was waiting for them to play.

your case is similar to a collector, than an actual user. collecting can be a hobby, and if you feel comfortable in your financial situation...then keep buying them mate. if you dont, then try to set goals and boarders, make a sub bank account just for games or something.

You’ve gotta shake off this weird myth that price equals quality. I picked up Quake 4 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein for $0.64 each. If that’s slop, hand me a spoon.

Some of my favourite games cost me less than a £

I bought both the Witcher 1 & 2 for around a buck cad each, not quite the same deal but still fantastic value for the cost.
