Plan to go through your backlog of games now that new games keep going up in price?

With the news that games keep going up in price, do you intend to focus more on your backlog of games? I have a ton of games yet that I have yet to play, including games on Steam and Epic Games. Along with the fact I have been collecting more retro games as of late, I think if prices keep going up, I'll just entertain myself with the games I already own. 

Do you plan to do that yourself? I haven't purchased the new consoles yet and I doubt I will anytime soon. Maybe around the time GTA VI does drop, but until than, I'm good with the back catalog of games I own.

Absolutely focusing on my backlog now - between Steam sales accumulation and retro collecting, I have easily 200+ hours of unplayed content that cost fraction of today's prices.

Some older games cost more than new games now, because sellers on eBay essentially know that they have become mega rare finds. So they try to get richer over this fact alone. 🤑

Absolutely, I plan to focus more on my backlog too. With rising game prices, it makes sense to enjoy what I already own. I haven't bought new consoles yet either, and I’m content exploring my existing collection and retro games until the next big release.
