trusteft: How do you deal with it? Hmm, thinking about it, if you have the same issue you obviously do not deal with it either lol.
Simple, privacy concerns.
First you switch from Windows to Linux, because obviously.
Then you completely ditch Steam in favor of Gog or Itch, because clients are a bit iffy and the whole DRM thing.
Finally, Unity games can potentially incorporate telemetry and aren't very transparent in that regard. You can block that, but you know, feels a bit dirty, so in the trash it goes.
Now, ignoring everything else for a moment, because I really don't want to judge that, this WILL take care of your backlog.
Also hide games. Make some useful tags, so you can organize them nicely. Then pick about 20 or so. Games that you actually will play. Either because they're on top of your backlog or they're your favourites and you're bound to replay them. Whatever floats your boat. Make your virtual shelf the same as your real shelf was when you were a kid and video games were actually expensive. Then hide the rest.
