I've noticed that my backlog of games continues to grow. I'll buy a new game, shelf my other games without completing them for months. Why do we constantly buy new games, is it really necessary? You could wait a few weeks/months after release, buy a more complete product with updates, at a reduced price. I've had enough of publishers, developers releasing unfinished products, trying to milk us the consumer with inflated release prices.

However, based on reviews, I would have bought them regardless. Maybe I should get back into renting.
