Reading over this thread on game backlogs (http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=99342&page=1 ) has had me wondering about what someone had said in the past, and my game collection. I am not sure anyone sets out to be a game collector, but they eventually do end up that way. Myself, I wanted to experience different games and play them. Somewhere along the line short-attention span renting switched over to short attention-span purchasing. And I have now games I will likely never get to. I doubt I will be able to play through all the games I own actually. But, my mind goes to buying more games and feeling a need to fit games into about every genre to own, own unique stuff, and also up supposedly rewarding quality by owning the best stuff, across a range of genres. Throw in I go back to old arcade days, and have seen a lot, so my interest in different game genres is huge. And I also have the "curse" of being a game designer, so I have an interest in seeing new play mechanics. By the way, it isn't just videogames either, I have a large collection of boardgames and cardgames to.
Ok, that is my story. Anyone else here found themselves ending up being a game collector, when that wasn't their original intent?
