As the author says in this article, it’s not their original idea, but this is the first time I’m hearing about it.
It basically boils down to play a game from your backlog for a bit, and whether you liked it or not, or kept playing it or bounced right off, you now have permission to remove it from your backlog. It sounds very freeing.
I take perhaps a little too much pride in having a very small catalogue of unplayed games (not because I play games a lot, but because I am dreadfully cheap and hardly ever buy anything lol), but even an old miser like me could probably benefit from a little tidying.
This is another reason why I pirate anything I’m not 100% sure about and buy it if I like it. I don’t want 299 shitty games still in my steam library
You can still buy them from Steam and refund them if you don’t like them and you have played them for less than 2 hours
There’s a limit to how many times you can do this per year btw.
There is a 2 weeks limit as well, fyi. You cant park it indefinitely
Indeed, but it’s possible to try it and see if you like it or not. I wish this time limit was a bit longer and it was 3 or 4 hours but it is what it is and it is better than nothing.
time limit is rarely enough for me. work is all over the place and can’t give me a reasonably regular schedule unless its just constantly busy
Yep. I just like to point this out since i have burned myself on it previously
