Obviously, if you refunded it, that doesn't count.

Bonus points for
paying top dollar
the game being triple A (lol)
triple points for it being triple A but you immediately assessed it as being sh i t but you paid top dollar for it and it it still in your library with 7mins played.

    Bought but never played would only be 1; War Plan Orange.  Really should have looked into it more, just couldn't get into it and hated the way the battles were handled.  Also I have one I didn't actually buy, but it was given to me as a birthday gift that I've never even loaded.

    Bought and disappointed in so not playing would be:
    - Children of the Nile 20.9 hrs:   I like the game, but it's just sooooo darn slow.
    - Table Top Simulator 3.3 hrs:  Would rather just play with the actual boardgame.  For me the playing feeling doesn't translate well onto a computer screen.

    - Ark survival evolved (should try it again with my new computer)
    - BattleZone 98 Redux (love the game but nobody is online)
    - Blade symphony (8 min play time)
    - Hellgate london (played a lot when the original came out - the "new" version looks too ugly/clunky)
    - Mordheim (59 min)
    - Star wars squadrons (2.1 hours - good game but preferred to play something else)
    - Starbound (to play with my son - did not really work for us)
    - Valheim (82 min - bought it because of global hype - did not like it)

    Across all platforms, I estimate the amount of games I have purchased but never played to about 500.
    I've been collecting games for 10+ years and I usually finish every game I start, so while I'm slowly trudging through my collection, I only beat so many games a year, and always add more than I play.

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    Too many count on Xbox. Holy crap. Which is my main system. Only use PC to play MMO's. 

    Thanks to Gamepass now as well I sometimes don't even dip into my backlog because I see something there that looks interesting.

    402 games in my GOG library. I play mainly 4 of them regularly (Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Ticket to Ride, and lately Horizon Zero Dawn). Many are re-purchases of older games I played a lot 10-20 years ago. I'd say that I've played maybe 12 of them, leaving 390 not played after an install.

    Steam is currently uninstalled (hard drive troubles) so I can not recall how many games I have there. I only play X-Com 2 and Skyrim with any regularity. I've tried my hand a few times at playing Valkyrian Chronicles. I'd say that leaves possibly about 100 more games I've never played after installing.

    My old discs, I played everyone of them. I bought them 1 at time and played them.

    About 500 games NOT played. Some AAA, some Indy, lots of steam key bundles/sales/rewards. Does that answer the question?

    Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.

    CRAP! Totally forgot about X-Box! My X-Box 360 is still used when I want to play Madden NFL 10. Loads of games NOT played there. I even bought the "Game Room" and a few arcade games until I remembered how those hurt my fingers :lol:

    Add another 40 to 50 games, most later Madden NFL iterations.

    It's kind of crazy how many I have. I went on Steamdb and looked up my profile on just steam alone and I have 323 games I have never launched. I bet I have ~300 also that have less than 2 hours played. I just buy a lot of crap on sales or in bundles and just never end up touching things I thought I would. I also own a ton of retro games I bought just because I thought they were cool and I collect games but I am too lazy to set up my old consoles.

    GOG library...I forgot about that, I know I have all three Witcher titles on it I never played, along with some others, have to go download it on my "new" laptop. (1.5 yrs old)

    I also signed up for Gamepass, haven't logged in yet.

    So many games, so little time.

    How many "Free Games" have you touched for more than 10 minutes?
