PC fats don't actually play video games

okay and the % of physical games that were bought?

>>713575770 (OP)
That's way lower than I thought with the amount of trash that's on Steam these days.

>>713575770 (OP)
Post the last game you played to 100%, OP.

More like Humble bundles were a mistake for shoving a bunch of garbage no one wants

>>713575770 (OP)
37% of all steam games are garbage.

>>713575983
This. I'm getting the Lisa the Painful one right now for 5 dollars and I'm getting two other shit games that I have no intention of ever touching.

>>713575940
*crickets*

>>713575770 (OP)
about 84% of bundled games i will never touch cuz i was only interested in 1 of them

>>713575983
Someone plays those. Humble Bundle doesn't hock true trash, just mediocre indies.
OP's image isn't about the average library played percentage, it's saying that literally nobody has booted 37% of games on the storefront, not one person.

>>713575770 (OP)
did you give up on trying to make "steamies" happen?

>>713576185
yeah a good quarter of my steam library is great deals on shit that came bundled with other nonsense i do NOT care about or simply have not got around to trying.

>>713576174
It doesn't matter if he posts anything or not. I just wanted him to look like a stupid Nigger. The thread looks like this + rest of the board is filtered. I'm always ten steps ahead of the sub-humans.

I continue to gorge myself on games I will never launch.

You have to be a selective shopper when there is no quality control in the storefront tbqh

Lots of people impulse buy in sales and the like, getting too many games for their limited time to play.

>>713575770 (OP)
You just get so much free stuff on PC that you never get to them.

>>713576238
plays on PC are made by console fags who don't care if PC games are on steam or something else
"steamie" specifically calls out steam users, by real PC users who don't want to be associated with them
now you know, steamie

It's way higher than that. The same applies for consoles. Nearly the vast majority of people not only do not finish games, but play them wrong.

>>713576598
>the vast majority of people not only do not finish games, but play them wrong.

How do you play a game wrong?

i have a bunch of unplayed crap in my account from bundles where you get 1 or 2 good games and they came with 5 or 6 games of garbage. when you try to delete them from your account unfortunately they are tied together as a package so you have to delete the whole bundle instead which i won't do so they'll forever remain unplayed.

>>713575770 (OP)
That's not what that means. It means that Steam customers buy extra games.

>>713576598
>>713576698
bait post, don't reply.

>>713575770 (OP)
>buy 500 games
>play 315 of them
>somehow this means i don't play games

>>713575770 (OP)
>>713575983
It's 100% this

Back in the day, I got a bunch of 10 dollar Humble Bundles for gifts and it filled up my Steam game list with absolute trash

>>713575770 (OP)
I'm not going to play every single RPG maker game someone slaps together in an afternoon. There is no shortage of things to play.

>pay pennies for something that you "might get around to" and then never get around to it
Is this shocking to people?
I have boxed games I spent real money on just sitting on my shelf too.

>>713575940
Going after achievements is retarded. Doubly so on pissea.

Consolefags are about the same if you count the free monthly games they get for paying for PlayStation plus/Xbox live

There's a decent amount of games in my library that are free because I took 10 seconds to click add to library when they released it for free
It doesn't hurt my day to do this and if I never get around to it then oh well
not to mention humble bundle (when it was actually good) probably contained shit you will never touch but were a good deal for the things you wanted
so basically OP is a faggot like usual

>>713575770 (OP)
I didn't realize working and getting old would exhaust me so much when I bought all that shit

>>713575770 (OP)
There are all kinds of things that can skew that number which don't really count.
I have, from games that I never loaded in Steam:
1) Games that I got when they were free and never actually bothered to play. I didn't get them because I wanted to play them, it's because they were free.
2) Games that I pirated, fully finished on pirated copy, liked and decided to buy on Steam just to give money to the developer. With those, I have no reason to install them again, especially if they're long.
3) Games that I got on Steam and then booted through third-party software, like Dosbox, ScummVM or some open-source engine. Nowadays I usually use luxtorpeda, boxtron or roberta, but there are games that I finished, just not through Steam.
4) Stuff that I got for a few bucks on a sale, which is technically a great deal for a game I already know is great but which I don't plan to play any time soon. This might be considered an impulse buy and like it counts, and it probably could be pirated instead, but if I can get the entire Witcher trilogy for like five or ten bucks, then I really don't mind overpaying, even if I might never touch it after that.
And of course there are a lot of games that I want to play but never get around to because there are so many other games to play. Those are fully my fault, since I probably need to buy them when I intend to play them, but sometimes impulse buys on sales just happen, or I did intend to play them but something changed.

The headline is misleading on purpose

>>713576215
that number is about to skyrocket now that steam is being flooded with AI trash. they need to get their quality control together
the amount of unity slop and low effort VNs was bad before, but now it's really got out of hand

>Why do you have so many games you haven't played? Isn't that expensive?
Hah! You should see my board game collection.

Thanks for the opinion. Go ahead and reply again after I've filtered this thread. That means it's gone from the board. If you opened 100 threads, 99 of them will be full of people like you. Please test this.

>>713575940
Ender Magnolia. It was an easy 100%, though.

>>713575770 (OP)
No, what this means is PC chads actually have a choice

>>713575770 (OP)
Tons of free shit and $1 games

>>713575770 (OP)
i have RDR2, Death Stranding 1, and Cyberpunk 2077 on my steam account i havent installed yet
Which one should i start with

>>713575770 (OP)
>Steamies schizo is still mad that people own their games on Steam, unlike GOG and Nintendo faggots who rent licenses

Yeah? People buy things on sale and purchase from bundles. It's not like they play all those games immediately. They get put in the backlog to be tackled at any time. Also, this isn't that unique to games. It happens all the time with movies and tv shows. There just isn't something to track it specifically and rigrously like a video game site does. You think all those millions of hours collected by streaming sites, that everyone checking out said movie or tv show watch them all the way through? Hardly. I know a guy who bought Rise of Skywalker and Transformers One movie when they were made available for purchase and they haven't watched them since.

>>713575940
yellow taxi goes vroom, last year. though I have hardly used steam this year

>>713575983
That's definitely the explanation, but as long as you get at least two games you want, it's normally worth it anyway.

>>713575983
Sometimes I see one game I want, and it's in a bundle of 40 games for $20, so I grab it.

oh and consolefags do ?

Show me one released game with 0 reviews

>>713582675
They would if they had any.

I would have expected higher, honestly.

>>713582776

>>713575770 (OP)
In my defense, some retard friend gifted me Jazz Cats which I am definitely never playing, so I unwillingly fall into this statistic.

>>713575940
I don't usually chase cheevos but I made an exception for Into The Breach because you actually get content for the game by doing so.
Not OP btw just saying.

>>713575770 (OP)
Steam is a social media platform disguised as a storefront. People would rather make reviews or unhelpful guides for up votes than actually play video games, every honest person knows this.
>>713575887
100% shipped = sold, video game publishers don't buy back unsold copies of games.

Note that there was a reset of playtime a decade or so back, so a lot of older crap might have gotten played.

>>713575770 (OP)
It's mainly bundle slop and games that have been split into multiple versions via updates
For example, Skyrim owners got Skyrim SE for free, but many people had already moved on and never touched the SE.

>>713583625
That's true. My list shows only 0 minutes in Half-Life despite the fact that I've played through the entire game and both expansions via Steam.

>>713575770 (OP)
>pirate game
>buy it afterwards because I like it
>never install legit version and keep playing pirate version
This is how I roll.

Christ, Gabe hit the jackpot. Providing a service people pay you for but don't even bother with it.

I'll play it when I get around to it.

Never installed. Never will.

>>713575983
This. I purchased so many bundles for a dollar back when you could name a price. Even these days you might get one good game for ten bucks that comes with seven crappy ones

>>713575940
Halo 3, prior to the first DLCs

>>713575770 (OP)
Because there's like tens of thousands of games released on steam yearly and most are going to be trash
Even then, some trash gets played anyway

>>713575930
you just need few friends to play your game - give them steam keys
those 37% must be not even real games or some test uploads or something physically unplayable

>>713575940
Stellar Blade. before that Pirate Yakuza

>>713575770 (OP)
What I'm seeing here is that over 63% of registered games are being played, which is more than consoles that don't have games at all.

>>713575995
you are hopelessly optimistic, steam is a dumpster with 40-50 releases per day every day

Sturgeon's Law applies. There's 10% quality out there.

>>713575770 (OP)
Opposed to? Consoles don’t even have games anymore. They just got Netflix and TikTok.

>>713575770 (OP)
There's like 20,000 games on steam

>>713583625
Yeah I remember that, it nuked a bunch of my hour counts too. Had like 200+ hours in TF2 and it got halved after one random update. Valve never said shit either, just silently reset stats like it never happened. Makes comparing playtime with newer games feel kinda pointless now.

>>713575940
I'm not sure if I've ever gone for all achievements in a game

>>713575770 (OP)
I got a lot of shit from back when you could get humble bundles for 1 cent. I got them for one game and then the rest just rot in my library.

>>713575770 (OP)
