In a Reddit discussion about a potential gaming industry slowdown in the coming years, the gaming community seems unfazed by this scenario.

One user hinted at their "modest" content stockpile:

Yeah I've got like 500 games between Steam and EGS, didn't even look on GOG. So I think I'll be good.

Others shared how they regularly replay cult titles like FromSoftware games and modded Skyrim with hundreds of mods installed. This trend appears especially common among older gamers, many of whom lament lack of free time due to work, family, and other commitments.

Interestingly, for some users, the ever-growing wishlist in digital stores has become a hobby of its own:

My dude, my wishlist is my backlog. Why would I spend money now on a game I may never play?
