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.

I have tried nearly every game on my Steam games list, except for about 5-6 titles. Not beaten them all but I've gotten at least 10 minutes in.

So many games i have i want to play. But i have a crappy comp. Also, with a DL cap of 250g and 4 people on that line makes it hard to play games.

Lol, only 7? I hoard like crazy, I like the fact that once it's on steam, I don't have to worry about anything if I want to play it: it's all there to install and go.

Hm, lets see if I have some... May take some time, but you know what?

Lets just leave it with the number exceeding a hundred. The reasons vary. Lots of indie bundles, games, which I pirated in my teenage years and later bought on sale to at least slightly contribute to authors or games waiting for some free time.

Hundreds of games I have not played yet.
To play, I prioritize current popular Multiplayer or anticipated games, and steamgift won games.

As for the hundreds of games I don't play. I don't have enough time to play them all. A lot of bundle games i don't intend on playing ever, but like to have in case i change my mind. Many I buy out of loyalty because I love the game (repeat purchases from other consoles I've owned them on), or devs (Like Double Fine).

I can't stress enough the repeat purchases statement. I've bought most of the genesis collection games several times. Sonic series alone is likely over a dozen times each game. I regret nothing!

I have about 300 I have never played. Reason for not playing them is that I buy them on a whim and never find the time to actually play them.

I don't have that many, but I fall under the same category.

Between school and parenting, and only playing one game at a time, I have a bit of a backlog.

I have a lot of (great) games that I have never played.

I try not to buy games I know Im not gonna play soon after purchasing though, unless I know the price won't go lower for some time. I plan on playing the majority of them at some point, I just haven't had the time (0,5 steam rank). It is a bad habit though, Im usually a pretty conscious consumer.

On top of this I have a tendency to savour the titles Im really looking forward to. I kinda consider Portal 2 to be one of my favourite games, but I still haven't played it :D

I have two games I haven't invested time in yet. Reign Conflict of Nations {Got it via key ninja-ing on a live chat}. No idea what it was until I redeemed it. The other is War of The Roses, which I got around the same time as Skyrim... Yeah... that's what I blame for the second one.

I have not played a lot of the indie bundle games I have. Also, some games which refuse to run through wine, or now the native Linux client, I have yet to play.
