Is my Steam backlog anxiety actually making me play less games than 3 years ago?

Three years ago I had maybe 30 unplayed games in my Steam library and I would actually finish stuff. Now I'm sitting at 247 unplayed games after that Summer Sale last month and I find myself just scrolling the store instead of opening anything. I spent $80 on the Halo Master Chief Collection in 2020 and still haven't touched it because I keep buying newer stuff. Does anyone else feel like having too many choices ruins the whole point of gaming, or am I just bad at picking what to play?

Are you really sitting there stressing over digital games you bought for fun, or is this just a weird flex about having 247 unplayed titles?

247 unplayed? @tylerw72 that's not a flex, that's a cry for help. Who has time to even scroll through that many titles? I've got maybe 12 games in my backlog and I already feel like I'm drowning.
