How many games do you own on Steam, but you've NEVER played? What are they? Why haven't you played them? Include any DLC. Do you find yourself wanting to just collect games or hoard them? Some we'll get to later I know because we are "stocking" up on them from the sale. But, is there a game of buying games outside of actually playing these games?

Here is my list of 7 owned Steam games that I've NEVER played and why:

Greed Corp - gift from my nephew that I've never even installed. Looks interesting though.

Aliens vs Predator - Recently won from Steamgifts and haven't played it yet. I will though.

Bioshock - Recently won from Steamgifts and haven't played it yet. I will though.

Toy Soldiers - Just bought it during Steam summer sale and haven't gotten to it yet.

Borderlands GOTY - Just bought it during Steam summer sale and haven't gotten to it yet.

Cubemen - Just bought it during Steam summer sale and haven't gotten to it yet.

Magicka DLC - Bought last month and played some of the core game. Have ALL of the DLC and played none of it yet.

What do you do with a reserved comment? You already have it, so it's not really reserved - it's just owned.

I have quite a few games I never played >_>

Usually there are 2 reasons for that. Either i never played them because I don't have time/hdd space/PC req or because I don't own the first game(s).

Same reasons too!

Yeah first reason is why I don't play either, but I also don't play if I get errors (which are a lot of games) for some reason. I get errors on Sanctum, Harvest: Massive Encounter, and RUSH. Not sure why...

I know that feeling. I think indie bundles have resulted in over 150 games worth of "bloat" in my list.

I am hoarder, most of the games I own have <1h played time. But here are some I've never ran according to Steam:

The Ship - I've done tutorial and some single player, but backstabbing games were never my forte.

Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus - Abe's Oddysee stutters like hell on Win7, so I assume this one does, too. Not running it until I dual boot WinXP.

Titan Attacks - Gift I never installed. Maybe when craving for asteroid will come then I'll give it a spin.

Killing Floor - I used to play it off-steam with randoms, but when I bought it it turned out that none of my friends have it. Then I got L4D2 and KF went back to the box.

HL2 Ep 1+2 - I finished HL2+eps on my friend's account, there is no need to run these apart from achievement hunting. They're still useful for garry's mod though.

Freedom Force vs 3rd Reich - I have non-steam versions of FF+3R, this is just backup.

Fortix 2 - played it for 4 minutes, boring.

Dota 2 - no idea why I completed the survey, this is ragequit the game. And I can't be bothered to learn all the metagame.

Bunch of Heroes - it's no fun on single player.

Abe's Odyssey never stuttered at all on my Win7 machine. Weird. You probably already tried different compatibility settings, right?

I try to play everything in my library for at least one minute before throwing games into "Trash" category but right now I'm suffering a slight... delay on that. I think I should solve it until 2023.

'Cause I keep playing LoL or Dota instead. Or waste all my time on SteamGifts chatting and making puzzles and crap.

I have some games that I don't play just sitting in steam doing nothing, not really because I'm a hoarder by choice, my PC is horrible and while I'm saving money for a new one I just get a few games to play later.

Umm, so I'm not only one with the problem of looking at my steam library and wondering where did I get this:
Big Brain Wolf.
Wasteland Angel.
Swords And Soldiers HD
etc.

I don't buy the bundles anymore...

I'm a new Steam user (well, newer I guess) so I have yet to fall in this trap. The only paid / won games I have yet to play are Rain Slick Precipice III (I'm still playing #2), Amnesia (Already beat it before I had it on Steam, it's uninstalled), CS: Source Beta, Dota 2 Test, Torchlight II (It isn't out...), A.R.E.S (Just won it yesterday, I bought some stuff during Steam sale so haven't gotten to it yet), Alan Wake American Nightmare (playing through original atm), Dead Space II (I've had it for like an hour), and The Ship (I have played some of the single player).

But I'm sure I'll get something during this sale that I'll never play.

i have a lot of non-played games...

  • i'm not playing a lot of bundle games for reasons most of u don't
  • don't have time for few won games
  • have a lot of games in queue cause don't have enough free space on my hard drive
  • or just don't have system requirements for few games
