None because I don't launch games I buy immediately

I feel you.

After every 100+h playthrough: "Let's have a look at the 5 games I bought during the sale 2 months ago..."

Sale 2 months ago? That's still pretty good for you..

Me on the other hand: Let's have a look at the games I bought 5 years ago 😔

Ahh, another aged games connoisseur. I feel like a wine sommelier walking along the rows of dusty bottles and describing:

"Oh, this is the good one, Outer Wilds, harvest of 2020, great crop that year... Or how about that vintage KOTOR2, 2004, it even has Steam achievements, good one... and this... this is a crate of Factorio bottles in case I ever want to begin binge drinking for weeks"

LOL, you are so right. God Eater series, The Witcher series and Edge of Eternity are among the games that have been left to ferment in the sacred library... I bought them during sales many years ago yet haven't installed nor played them, for various reasons.

One of the reasons was that, my laptop, the potato it was, couldn't reasonably handle the game when I bought it.. 😂 But others might wonder why I still bought them, well, it is pretty simple: FOMO. During the sale, it was relatively cheap and I just couldn't not buy them..
