    ok weird one i need help, between a PC game subscription and my old purchases, I have over 200 games available, and I spend more time browsing than playing 😭 I feel like Im spending more time managing a backlog than playing, how do you choose what to play next? and do you ever cancel and come back later?

    i'd also love to hear from people who cancelled and came back. did a break change how you used teh service?

    I'm not complaining about the value, it's honestly great. I just feel like I'm not enjoying games as much as I used to when I owned fewer of them. pls help 🙏

    check the leaving soon list once a month, not daily. if a game u care about is leaving and you wont finish it in time, wishlist it and buy it on sale later. fingers crossed 🤞

    limit yourself to two active games: one long and one short. when you finish one, you get to pick a new one. it sounds strict, but it helped me finish more games than in years.

    day one patch is bigger than the actual game, classic

    lol same thing happened to me look at how long games take before starting. short games can clear your head between huge RPGs and make the backlog feel less heavy.

    pausing a subscription for a few months when youre busy is completely fine. most services let you rejoin later, and your saves are usually kept in the cloud or locally. fingers crossed 🤞
