Is it bad that I have 100 games in my Steam Library but only 17 installed?

You have 459 games installed!? Holy crap. I hope most of those are small indie titles.

Mine is only 182 GB. Why so many installed? Are they games you still need to play or do you just leave everything installed should you ever have that urge to play a game that you otherwise hardly play. Recently, I've gotten in the habit of capping my list of installed games at 30. That way, if I want to install something new, I have to play and finish one of them. It helps with my backlog.

Datacaps. I'll download the games and then leave them there, because if I delete it, I might not be able to get it again for a few weeks.

Makes sense. When I reinstall my OS I think I come real close to maxing my data limit, especially with 30 GB of BF3.

That's why I have an external drive for my games. Though my cap isn't tiny, I have several people in my house that use off of the Internet, and one likes downloading videos a lot.
A good portion of my 1TB HDD is full because of my Steam library. lol

I really need to get an external hard drive for my Steam games. I don't like having less than half of my hard drive (1TB) in use, so I just uninstall stuff I haven't played in a while, despite knowing it'll take a couple of hours to DL on my 3mb connection.

Datacaps must suck. If my ISP tried to put a cap on data limits then I'd switch services.

289 out of 493 (59%)

Falling behind a bit, would rather they were all installed.

I install all small ones straight away and try to never delete anything, but I haven't bought any HD's since pre-flood so I am nearly out of space :(

But they do take up space thus limiting the number of games that can be installed.

Nothing wrong with not having everything installed, even though I personally do.

Some people like high RPM/low storage HDD.

I try to only have a few installed at a time. Otherwise I'll spend more time picking a game to play than playing games.

This. With too many installed, I'm overwhelmed with choices and don't end up playing anything sometimes. I'll be the first to admit that's pretty ridiculous.

Not really. Most of my games are ones that I'm not going to be playing for a while, others I doubt I'll ever play again. So I uninstall them.

It's normal to not have everything installed. Some might be done and deleted, some might be bundle games you activated as a set but are not interested in, etc.

For the record, I have 160 installed out of 735 :)

28 installed, out of 211. Most games on hdd are indie hits like isaac/bittrip/meatboy which i play all the time + some oldies like tropico, duke nukem, etc. I don't bother with hoarding since I can just download everything in an hour at most.
