It’s hard to get rid of my games, even the bad ones, because of the memories I have of them. But, now that I have so many games, it gets easier to get rid of the bad games because it feels like it enhances the good ones by narrowing my collection down only to my favorites. In short, I think I’m quite sentimental indeed.

As a kid, though our parents bought us some games (or we bought them with our allowances), we rented lots of games from our local video store or borrowed them from friends. So to an outsider, it might have *looked* like we had LOTS of games, but we really didn’t. Nowadays, I still rent or borrow when I can. Of the games I actually buy, my collection gets evaluated every year; if I am not truly interested in playing a certain game, it gets traded or sold.

If I had a huge collection of games now, I think I’d feel ridiculously guilty for not being able to play them. Now…if someone would pay me a living wage to simply play all the games that I had and then some…that would be a different story. :)

I no longer have time to waste on bad games anymore like I used to. If a game’s not worth my time, I may as well sell it.

I won’t get rid of any games I haven’t yet played, but I have been much more picky about what games I buy now, as I am limited on the time I have to play them and the money I have to buy them.

I had felt the same way to the point where if I didn’t play SOMETHING that day, I felt like it was a wasted opportunity. I still love playing games, but I’m slowly realizing that if I miss a day or two without playing something, it’s not a big deal.

Plus, I’m finding my free time isn’t quite as big as it once was so adjusting isn’t so much optional as it is a requirement these days.

I’ll never give up gaming but it’s not the end of the world if something else comes up preventing my from playing.

Part of me still wants to hold on to them but maybe its time to part ways with a few of them and let other people enjoy them.

With limited time, playing games that are worth my time matters more than ever, and it’s actually a bit satisfying watching my collection thin out a bit so that only the best games are left over.

So basically, I may have less time to game, but it’s now more quality time than it ever was before.

For me there was a time when a weekend without games was a weekend wasted. But now, now going without isn’t that bad a thing. Games have gone from “the” thing to do to “a” thing to do….hmm.

As for keeping bad games vs. getting rid of them. I’m still a bit of a hoarder. I suppose it’s because it’s fun to have a collection, but you do have a point: there’s no much sense in hanging onto games that you know you’ll never play again.
