What an interesting thread!
I never considered myself s a pc gamer and not even a collector of pc games. But after reading this thread I counted my games and noticed that I currently have more than 2000 games on my nas drive. Most of them are casual games I found somewhere for free.
My main interest are boardgames. Since I was young I spent every single penny in a board or card game. And playing is still very important for me and my entire family.
Whenever I play a computer game it must be a family 'friendly one', which means I can play it on my tablet whenever we are watching tv. I found most modern games very boring. The main focus lies on sound and graphics and not on the game mechanics imho. I still remember my first pc game: Moria. Never had more fun moving characters around the screen...
Nostalgia is the reason why I am here on GOG. The good old games I used to know.
I am trying to play all of my pc games, never buy a game just to have it on my virtual shelf, but honestly my backlog on GOG is very loooonggg...

I'm NOT a collector ... I just like buying stuff! Sales makes me look into games I never heard of. Also, sometimes a low price leads me to games a bit outside my comfort zone. The price is that I aquire more games than I'm able to consume.

GOG had a lot of titles from my youth that I just had to have. Maybe I'd never play Phantasmogoria ... but I feel I own it to the boy I once was to at least buy it. So I bought a lot of games from the early nineties. Maybe I am collecting, just a tiny bit. There are games I once played and enjoyed, like Blake Stone and Rise of the Triad. But I kinda feel like I have finished them back then. I don't want to buy them just for nostalgia.

I think my buying spree has somehow slowed down. I feel saturated, somehow. A lot of times, I see a game that speaks to me. But then I consider that I already owns lots of games that I rather play.

Vyraexi, Vyr for short, here. i am a long term game addict.
i started playing games all the way from the DOS age playing games on various systems
commodore 64, dos pc's, windows pc's
as well as some consoles intellivision, nes, snes, genesis,, playstation 1, 2, and 3

in all including bought games demos, legal shareware, freeware, free trials and borrowed games from friends, i would estimate maybe 1000+ games that i have played

among teh most memorable have been the Ultima series, the Might and Magic series, and the original Xcom.
xcom being so memorable that i have checked out a large number of xcom inspired games out there, including Ufo AI, teh new xcom on ps3, ufo: extraterrestrials.

as for being "greedy" i have to say im not greedy in teh sense that of takng every game i can get my hands on. i need my games to be something i am interested in.
though where it comes to games that i find interesting yeah i'll get them when i can

anyway i think i bored y'all enough with the story of my gaming history, so i bid you all a good day, peace.

I only started collecting games for PC digitally this year, Febuary 4th to be precise when I first found out that GOG.com had tar Wars Rebellion. I pretty much play or try to every game I get on Steam or GOG except for some I just get because they are in bundles with games I want and the bundle is cheaper then buy the games I want from it alone. That said I currently have 280 games between Steam and GOG plus a few games I have gotten from the creator's websites or other digital distribution sites. That said there are a number of games I plan to buy if I see them on sale, more I would buy as soon as I was able to after they are released on GOG or Steam, and I plan to buy a few bundles in the near future where I only want one or two games from the bundle. Also while there are some games I have bought only to later discover that they don't work with my current computer I recently purchased a few games I already knew wouldn't work on my laptop to have them ready to download whenever I manage to upgrade my laptop to something that can run them. As for PC games I've played total, counting Shareware and demos I would say thousands. My parents bought me several commercially released CDs with collections of Shareware games and old 70s early 80s games and I played pretty much everything on those collections when I was younger. In fact several of my gog games purchases were complete forms of shareware game I first played on those collections. Also some of dad's friends when he went back to college were into computers and gaming and they gave me tons of games back in the floppy disk days.

Thanks to all who took part in the discussion as well as in giveaways.
It was a pleasure to Share the Greed around, but this was intended to be a one year thing so there will be no further giveaways connected to this main thread.
Of course, this thread will remain open for the discussion purposes if anyone feel like talking about their game collecting habits. :)
