Well look at that! 25%, 25%, 25%, 25%!

Sure the poll just got started but I can expect an interesting result out of this. XD

How can you expect an interesting result? It's obvious that the 250+ is going to have the least amount of votes and the <50 is going to have the most...

I'm only including games I currently have (question: should digital ones count because, technically, you don't own anything that contains the game & with something like steam valve can remove your lease, but if a company rejected my Cd key, I still OWN a physical copy).

Most of mine were destroyed last year, so now I've got ~10. Before that I had to have easily 250+ (never tossed one out, from Battle Chess in '86 to FEAR)

Of course digital copies count, digital property is the future! With all the pollution and attempts to save our planet going on, virtual publishing will become more and more common. Does that mean that in the future we won't own any game? Of course not, it only means we don't have physical copies, but we do own it nonetheless.

A collection is the sum of all your owned content related to a certain theme. So your games collection includes every game you own regardless of condition.

TheHappyFriar Feb 3 2009, 1:27pm replied:

then I need to change my vote to 250+. I've got thousands of games on Cd's I've burned over the years (0% pirated!), all for PC. If I'm not counting digital, then last december I had 250+ physical copies from the publiser/dev/store.

The definition of "game" just got a whole lot wider then. I may not own the actual CD's any more, but "once upon a time" when you could backup a whole directory to a CD & the game would still work, I did that. Or you could install & not actually NEED to install it again, I backed that up.

I currently have 84 on my c:\games folder, that doesn't even count games that I just installed to c:\temp to test & see if I wanted to play them.

We are having a metaphysical discussion to prove that gamers and game developers alike have some of the most fascinating minds on the universe, the birthplace of so many wonderful mods and games that have come a long way to change the way we look at the entertainment industry and shape the face of our children's worl.....Yeah I don't know either.

How is less than 50 games small-ish?
I give some games away to younger guys from work and family. I'd say I have less than thirty games lying around, or in boxes. Probably ten or so, I'd kill for (once again).

I got loads of games ranging from early 90s - just not on the PC. Loads of console games - and a large handful ofPC games, I dont see how less than 50 is smallish though; I don't personally know anyone with that many titles.

I have around 25 games (most of which are shared with my brother) but I don't consider it a small collection. I don't have any time to play at the moment anyway...

I said less than 50, but that's not true if you count all the old Amiga and C64 games I have lying around. But I guess they wouldn't count as "PC" games, even though they were for Personal Computers.

If we're counting ROMS, including NES, SNES, Sega, Gameboy, Mame, and PSP games... probably 20,000+. I don't play any of them. I only play BF2142 demo. Over and over and over again. Cause it rocks! At least my heavily modded demo server does.
