Ghorpm: I must admit I cannot understand how a large number of games can cause any problems. Having too few games - sure, I get it, but having many games? It means that most probably you'll be able to find a game that perfectly suits to your mood for at least several years. What's so bad about it?
snowkatt: because you have too much choice
if you dont like a game or cant get in to it you will toss it aside and never ever play it again
unlike when you were a kid when you had a finite amount of games and played them to death
now you have so many games and so little time you cant do the games jusitce you cant invest the time they deserve and you will have wasted your money
and sometimes you have so much choice you dont know where to begin
I can clearly understand two problems:
1) Inability to make a decision because of a large quantity of options, I can understand that even though I personally don't have this problem.
2) Wasted money - sure, I can understand that, I had that thoughts too and thus I've decided to not buy cheap bundle games that
might be good because they rarely are and even though they were cheap I still think my money was wasted on them.
But the biggest difference between us is that I don't think a game deserve anything at all. And most probably that's why we see this subject so differently. My attitude towards games is very pragmatic: they are here to entertain me. If they cannot achieve that, away with them. I'm always glad when I can toss a game I don't like away and never ever play it again. It just means I'll have more time for better games. On the other hand I do enjoy a large variety of games even those which I can later review as bad ones and not recommended (Pixel Piracy recently) so I rarely quit. I rather try to reach the ending ASAP (while still having fun with it) and then I can never play it again.
So yeah, it apparently comes to those differences. I love to have a huge choice, others don't. I'm absolutely heartless towards games and others aren't ;P And I really like that people are so different from one another otherwise living would be SO boring ;)
