Break it down to me like I'm Avon Barksdale and you're Stringer Bell and I just got out of the pen and need the bidness explained.

Listen up. You just got out the pen, you looking at your Steam library, and you seeing fifty, a hundred games you ain't never touched. You ask why cats do that? I’m gonna break this down for you, Avon.It’s about the supply, the hype, and the hustle. Here’s how this bidness operates.The Price is the PackCats are buying games the same way you buy a package when the price drops. You see a $60 product going for $5 during a Steam sale, your brain says, "I'd be a fool not to take this." They are stacking product not because they need it today, but because they think they'll need it down the line.That "Soon" MentalityThese buyers—they tell themselves, "Yeah, I'm gonna play this right after I finish my current run." Then real life steps in, corners get heavy, and they never make the time. They are buying the idea of themselves having free time in the future.The Rush is in the BuyThe truth is, buying the game gives them a little hit of dopamine. It feels good to acquire something hot. It’s the same way a hustler feels after a re-up. Actually sitting down to play the product? That’s work. That’s putting in the hours.The Fear (FOMO)You know how cats hear about a new connect and rush to get the work because they don't want the competition to beat them to it? That’s FOMO—the Fear of Missing Out. It's a psychological play used by storefronts to make users panic-buy.Avon, if you're trying to figure out how to manage your own backlog or want to know which classic games are actually worth your time, let me know what kind of action you're looking for and I'll lay down a plan.

Hope this helped.

It's pretty simple
>steamfag has 100 unplayed games
>sees game on sale
>it looks like something they might enjoy, kinda
>price is so good that they figure they'll just get it and play it when they feel like they actually wanna play it
>steamfag has 101 unplayed games
Or they get it, play it for a bit, get bored, and move on, never getting any later achievements.

>>743331578
I get games from bundles that are so cheap that as long as I want a couple games from the bundle, it's still cheaper than buying those couple games even when they're on sale. So I end up with a lot of games that I might not end up playing. That said, the majority of filler games in those bundles is still stuff I'd like to play, it's just not high on the priority list, and I end up buying more at a rate faster than I play through them. It sounds wasteful, and maybe on some level it is, but I still probably end up with like 30-40 games for the price that other people will pay for a new AAA game at release, which to me is a far bigger waste of money.

why dont 4channelers make quality threads anymore?

When you see the same shit posted 300 times the archives exist to validate your sanity. No I'm not crazy it really is the same shit over and over again for years.

It's the same on consoles. Normies don't actually like games, they like the idea of them more. That's why Twitch is so popular, you get to experience games without putting in the effort.

izzat and jugaad are inextricable, you really can't have (or understand) one without the other

it's similar to the relationship between india's lack of hygiene and public defecation
