Please tell me you've played more than a hundred games in your life.
Think about it. A hundred. Should seem like a small number, compared to probably over a million games out there. But, be honest. You haven't, have you?
Seriously. Lethn would probably prefer Guildwars 2 over Guildwars 1. He would probably prefers Borderlands 2 over Diablo 2. He would probably prefer Baulder's Gate over Planescape: Torment or Neverwinter Nights. He probably hates Factorio and Rimworld.
Is he? I didn't know that Beamdog HAD fanboys? I say that as someone who briefly hung out on their forums when BG1EE was first released and owns most of the "EE" releases.
My impression was the general community feeling was thankfulness for Beamdog refreshing the engines, making them easier to run on modern PCs, tablets, etc. The most positive things I've ever heard said about their new content is that it wasn't bad and that most of it was optional.

Not Lethn, but that's an interesting question. How many games have I played?
And what does played mean? I might be tempted to break it out into categories so that "played" means one of:
Completed multiple times
Completed once
Didn't complete but played 5+ hours
Played more than 1 hour
That avoids playing some game for 5 minutes and it goes on the list.
For me it would be old DOS games, old Mac games, NES, SNES, (etc), PS2+ (etc), "modern" games, phone games, flash games, etc.
I would guess it would have to be 300+, but I have no idea. I could be way off.
My vidya time really tailed off in my 30s.
Edit: My Steam and Gog collections are ~150, but I have definitely not played them all! I might revise my guess to 400+.
As always, you are an agent of the decline.

Lethn is the world's biggest Beamdog fanboy. The saddest day in his life was when they fired David Gayder.
He is the inevitable result of a failure to gatekeep.
