How do you have the money
u can get quite some games from cheap bundles alone

But if DO like a game from bundles (the Paradox bundle was really tempting) I still don't have the time at the moment.

Most of us carry a big backlog of games still to play.

90 games and going strong, I have no idea why I'm doing this, I like collecting and hoping for something good.
Edit: won a game while commenting, 91, going strong.

What a coincidence! I won a game while commenting too. =)
I guess this is a common problem with gaming; as a child you have all the time in the world but no money. As an adult, and once you get a good job, you see your dream of having a big game collection come true, but you lack the time to play them. Life is such a bitch...

As a child, no worries, piracy always (though kids here today aren't educated like that anymore, which is great).
I still have a Treasure Planet CD with a crack on the disk, because we didn't have the RAM to handle ISO's back in the day.

Become a father, and allow your child to play your games! ;)

Well, maybe you have a life... That may be a good thing, actually. ;o)
I get it, though. I wish I had more time to spend on some of the cool games. I recently took a day off work just to be able to sink a few uninterrupted hours into a game.
To tell you the truth, I don't play the newest titles. I wait for prices to drop, maybe pick some things up in a bundle. Frankly, with the quality of some of the bundles, there is barely a reason to go full price anymore.

No, I got exams soon, wasted 3 and a half years of high school gaming, now I wonder where they went and I feel bad for every day I waste gaming (though I am guilt free when I reserve a full weekend for a non stop Civ marathon)

I don't.
Also you have better specs than me. But let's not make a contest of who has the best(worst) potato of us all.
Also don't complain, be grateful for what you have and you'll be a happier man.

No, I'm ok with it, tech is going way to fast anyway, today's high end is middle specced an year from now and low end in 5, this laptop is a huge upgrade from my old PC with no GPU, even the HD Graphics 2000 it has in it are better than the GMA4500 in the PC.
Just wondering around, curious about you, watched some Better Call Saul, he complains on a $700 per client, that's a 2 month's minimum salary here... Not that I want to go for that, but I hate it

I barter my time with money, not a very good strategy.

but still it's easiest to get into ..compared to other alternatives like business or building a product that people want to pay you for..

Not that rich, most games I got were from bundles/promos/cheap stores (never paid full price for a game). Rig ain't that great either, last I updated it was for AC Black Flag (2.66 Ghz i5, 8gb ram, GTX 760, desktop itself is a refurbished dell, which is almost 5 years old).
EDIT: I should probably spend less on games, but just owning a game you think is cool on steam kinda sucks you in (being a collector gets expensive :/)
EDIT 2: Oh, and then there are games, you think would be great to play, but you're not into them - for me Dont Starve, and the Long Dark - apparently I'm not into these survival games, so maybe I should start researching more before I buy something lol.
EDIT 3: Live in US, earn about 2k, spend about 1.7k on life (rent, food, etc. - very expensive in NYC), save a few hundred bucks, and probably spend $50-100 on games and other stuff.

10-12 hours weekly for a hobby is quite common, and even with a job, you can get even more. Also, 300 USD, really? I live in Eastern Europe and earn more than 600 USD monthly.
As for games, there are always deals. Steam sales, official reseller sales (which are usually a lot better than Steam…)

Well, that's the "minimum" here
+your country is pretty much in the center, even Romania is sometimes politically "Central".

Geographically we are Central Europe, but politically Eastern. Unless one is living in this region, it is easier to tell people I live in E Europe, most Westerners and Asians don't have a concept for "Central Europe", just East and West.

Really, where do you have the money for all this and STILL time to play every game? I barely got myself to buy a 500€ laptop to AT LEAST BE ABLE to run new games, but I pirated them anyways. Now that I stopped pirating, I don't understand how can one pay so much for games. How much do you pay for your games a month? I'm at about 25-50€ a year, which I think it's pretty weird on this community.
Also, you complain about some i7 builds with dual GTX GPUs, while I have a Pentium B960 with a GT 540M GPU and a hard drive slower than my grandma. Without any exaggeration, my Moto G is faster than my laptop, at half price (except the GPU).
Now, if you'll excuse my Witcher 3 hype, I'll go and find time to play The Witcher 1 I activated on GOG from a 2€ key my cousin has on Steam and I stole it from him WITH his consent. And I think I'll disable textures.
