>Video games are suppose to be fun, and if they're not, why bother?
This is one the things that everyone agrees on in a vacuum just like how smoking and drinking are bad and yet many people do it regardless. The desire to complete the backlog is often strong enough for people to go though the chore of completing it despite not having any fun. Often you can't just reframe this problem and think of backlog differently because deep down we all know what it is no matter what coat of paint you put on it. The universal solution is to not have a backlog.
If it works for you good for you but some people are wired for completionism and you can only have fun if the backlog is empty (impossible goal) or just doesn't exist (healthy approach).
It's not even a vidya thing, people have been hoarding shit for centuries and being more concerned about hoarding and maintaining that shit instead of using or appreciating it in some way.
