Can You Be Addicted to Steam Gaming?

I speak as someone over 60 who finds themselves buying over 40 Steam games in a single weekend, although they were part of various Humble Bundles, so I helped a charity while getting some new entertainment.

We have been watching Real Civil Engineer play some of these games on YouTube, probably far too much, and my library of games is becoming quite extensive. Most of the games are quite simple to play, time-wasters I might call them, but they keep me amused and take my mind off anything else that might be distracting me from relaxing.

Now I sit, working my way through my library, adding them to yet another category so I can find them later. Despite having well over 100 I haven’t even installed from previous purchases, I still have a Steam Wishlist of over 100 games.

The large collection hasn’t cost me much recently; most of the games are a couple of pounds each, most under £5, but there is a lot of fun to be had with them, even on my tiny, relatively low-powered PC. I don’t regret most of the purchases, but you do sometimes have to wonder about the motivation.
