After buying my steam deck in July of 2024, I've gone on kind of a game buying shopping spree that might be on the verge of an unhealthy addiction.

Over the past 7 months I have bought 199 items that include games, dlcs, and soundtracks. I've mostly picked up these items during major steam sales and third party key vendors thru gee gee dot dealios.

Always checking everyday for the best deals, I've spent a total of $686 USD on these 199 items. I did the calculation of what all of these items total in full retail on steam and it comes to $4,297 USD which puts my savings at about 84% off of retail price for all of these items.

I'm confessing this here because I'm done buying more games. It's such an easy dopamine hit to think I just got a game for pennies in the dollar adding another great game to my library, but I need to stop now or it will only get worse.

I'm here to get your support and maybe see if I'm not alone in this addiction of buying games? Now to find the courage to tell the wife. Eek!
