How do you go about clearing your backlog? (lemmy.world)

Interested in seeing how other people approach their backlog. I’ve finally made a list of all the games I want to finish, and I’m forcing myself to play one of them a day for at least an hour.

As an added incentive, I’m forcing myself to wait to finish a backlog game before I can buy a new one. I’ve got a lot of playing to do between now and October.

I don't even add all my humble bundle games any more.

Occasionally I'll see a humble bundle games that peaks my interest, only to find it already in my library.

I've really tried to stop purchasing anything, especially anything new, although it looks like AAA developers have caught onto this and are doing their best to keep "goty" versions as close in price to the original release price as possible. An excellent trick by them, release a game with a bunch of cut/"planned"content, sell 60% of the game at 100% price, then a year down the road sell the full game at 100% price, but look at the 40% extra content you get for your money!
