Shit I have enough games owned on Steam that the backlog would last the rest of my life at normal gameplay pace*. Deciding what to play actually stresses me out because my brain wants to optimize what I play, but it's impossible to do so.
It's really not that many. Strategy games. Games that I actually like I tend to put a few hundred hours in over several months. I hope that I can play video games for 30 more years. 100 games seems like enough. I have more than that.
Now, I wouldn't enjoy my gaming time as much if I never bought another game -- I'd end up having to play stuff I like less. But I wouldn't run out (unless I end up living longer than expected. Anyways, it's close)
If you are the type to play things like competitive games for thousands of hours, you'd need even fewer games.
