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

I've got a load of games I've never gotten to yet, but I still don't think I could pass up a big game if I really wanted to play it right away. I already know I'll be purchasing Don't Starve at some point soon.

....but you need catch them all.

No Steam Sales! Must buy cheap Games! (that I will never play or maybe I will) xD
If I want to play all my games until I buy new ones, I will never buy a new game again in the next years. ^^

So I'll try ;)

I think I'll join too. Will make an exception with numbered Humble Bundles and other really good one-time offers (and If there will be another stupid achievement this year which will require you to buy/gift a game, I'll might buy one for ~1€), but that's it.

I will try. Computer doesnt run much though.

Sorry, not strong enough.

I don't have a credit card so ill try :D

I didn't buy any games in 2012 (for myself) does that count as a head start?

You will not survive the Summer Sale.

To late.

If we all made the same promise where will all the gifted games come from, and who would support all the indie bundles? Also wouldn't not buying new games be selfish as the profits from the lost game sales lower profits for their companies, and in return lowering the amount of money that can be paid to the coders, musicians, artists, ect. that created the games? For an indie game maker this could make or break them. Are we really willing to destroy peoples lives for the sake of a silly backlog?

Personally I like having a large backlog. I'll focus on one game at a time and then try out a bunch of games after I finish with my current focus. I decide that many games aren't worth my time and toss them aside in very short order. Some get saved for later when I'm in the mood for a particular genre while others just get removed from my backlog altogether.

I am in!

I can promise I won't do this.

I'm with you guys

Look what I did before reading this post:

New Year's Resolution

i would :D

imposibruuuu :3

I probably will actually. My backlog is GIGANTIC, I don't know if it'll be able to support it's own weight if I buy any more.

But I may still reserve a purchase slot for:

• Bioshock Infinite
• Crysis 3
• GTA V
• Dead Space 3
• Dead Island Riptide
• Gears of War: Judgment
• Rainbow Six Patriots
• XCOM

Very unlikely I'll buy any of them before next Christmas, but who knows.

piece of cake i will do it

Worst.Idea.Ever.

Metro: Last Light is slated for March. I'll never last until December. Pass.

I didn't buy any games from the Summer Sale till the Winter sale, so 6 months I went without buying any games. Now my backlog is way too big again, I could probably go a whole year without buying any games and be just fine. Atleast Id save some money up to upgrade my computer.
