who is joining me: don't buy any games till next winter sale

good idea

Start.

Your idea is NOT silly.

Check this out: Frag Cakes's 2013 Steam Challenge

Yeah this would be a wise thing to do... but no. I cannot commit to something this difficult.

No way. 350 games is not enough for me.

I would like but i cant..

NOT ME.

I'm sooo gonna buy bioshock infinite

I have 7.50€ left in my Steam Wallet, does it still count if i start after i spend those? :D

I haven't bought so many games, so I'll wait up untill the spring sales and that's it :D

Oh, 9 bucks left in my paypal... after that... why not :)

nah i'm buying in the summer sale for sure.

I bought none this winter though

I think that you should add the condition "don't buy any games except for gifting". :)

Anyway, it's not a bad idea. I reduced my game buying a lot since the summer sale, but personally I can't see myself stopping buying games completely. There will always be an "indie" bundle (in quotes because of THQ) which will offer such good value that I'll be tempted.

I guess I have slightly more than 50 games and after few weeks I won't have any time to play any of them, yet I'm still buying more.

No. Watch Dogs, GTA V, Metro Last Light, Bioshock Infinite? Must buy them.

not me

I haven't bought any games off the Steam store until early 2010 :3

Edit: Except Skyrim and Brink which I bought from Wal-Mart/Gamestop

indeed

There is no reason to buy any games on steam (or anywhere else for that matter) for less than 75% off. Eventually they all go there. If you start doing this you might play the games a little later than others but you will have 4 times the games to play and you are always ahead of the hardware curve. Meaning you never have to worry about the games not running smooth on your current computer.

Buy and Play Smart.

Ive only bought the Witcher 2 from the steam sales and that was just an impulse maybe i should get the badge thing out of the way buy lol

I say this every single sale, but I can't seem to hold myself to it. Good luck though. Maybe you'll be better at resisting the temptation of that oh-so-lovely, shiny new game. lol

For the record, I still don't think the idea's silly at all so long as you're still having fun. Lately, I've been making myself pick a new game each time I hover my cursor over something I've beaten multiple times and have been pleasantly surprised just how good some of my unplayed games really are. Also, I'm many times more likely to spend more time playing something I won/was gifted than something I paid for myself. Go figure, but it seems to be good motivation.

I never had enough time to play them too。。。。

I'm with you. No new purchases... at least until summer sales!

What if i had a retail copy of a game and because i liked it very much i got it on steam too but never played it there?
