We’ve featured multiple video game-related questions here throughout the years but surprisingly enough, we’ve never asked how many games you actually own. Some people tend to hang on to every game they have bought while others typically trade up to a new system each cycle and send last generation’s games packing.
I personally have 11 PC titles and about half a dozen Xbox 360 games. I’ve got another eight games on my mobile phone and probably 10-12 on my iPad for a total of 30 or so. The count would be much higher but I’ve fallen victim to trading in games for next to nothing over the years. I likely lost 50-60 titles this way dating back to the original NES.
Whether it is on the PC, your favorite gaming console or a mobile device, we want to hear (roughly) how many games you currently own.

I have only 1 game bf3. I always play the multi player
-
Identical for me
-
10,000 or so beleve it or not!
-
As another guest pointed out, we don't really own any games...
But games that I have a legal right to play? Probably 150.
-
too many to count
but in the recent years I have decided to cut my games budget to
just 500.00 per year
to do this I have found that most of the crappy games out there are
just not worth it and game reviews from third party reviewing sites are
the best thing to weed out the crap
but i am still buying "DIABLO III" thank god I prepaid for it on last years budget.

I'm 41, and been gaming since about 1979. I couldn't even begin to guess how many games I've owned. I'm sure I liked them all..for the first minute anway.

You do not own the games you purchase on Steam...
If you read the EULA of boxed games you buy, you don't technically own them either. In practical terms you own your Steam games just as much as anything else.

Yes, your point being?

If by "own" you mean games I've ever paid anything for and haven't given away / thrown away / lost, I'd estimate around 400 (but it's probably more). One day I might get around to selling the Commodore 64 stuff I still have on eBay. And I don't include the "100 Amiga games" CD I think I still have around somewhere.
Still, the relationship between games paid for and games played is tenuous. There are a lot of games I paid for and haven't played, and a lot of games I played that I didn't pay anything for.

200+ Too many to actually count.
-
I have around: 50 PS2 games, 125 PC games and 12 PS3 games. All are solid, no steam stuff.
-
Happy to report I have significantly less than most here since although I love gaming, there's big beautiful world outside my door that I very much like to spend alot of time in. Not hating/condescending just keeping it 100.

I recently got my childhood Atari 7800 back and have 19 game cartridges for it (some are 2600 and some are 7800). For whatever reason, I also got several Activision, Mattel and Interphase game cartridges with it. Other than that, I have a DS with a handful of games, a Super Nintendo with over 30 games and accessories and a gameboy (clear edition) with 5 games. I only have one Steam game (Portal 2) that my bf got for me.

I own about 60 for Xbox, 3 for Wii, which I, actually gave away.
I don't have that much on Steam but I spend lots of paysafecards for extra stuff in mmorpgs. does this count like having those games if they are considered to be free to play?

You don't own ANY games (unless you created them). You just purchase a license to use them.
That being said, i don't think i could count the games i have.
...somewhere around 50,000 - 100,000. (seriously!)
I'm somewhat of a collector.
I enjoy old school games the most. (colecovision, c64, nes, mame)

37 in physical discs and 18 digital.

I agree with the statement, "You don't own the games you purchase." You are just purchasing the license to play the game, not purchasing the physical game itself.
The question you you should be asking is how many actual games do you play the most? I have quite a few games, maybe 150 games. But I only play 1 or 2 at the moment.
-
None --in case my wife reads thiso_O
-
I used to sell em, but stopped. I have about 30, mostly 360 games and a handful of ps3 titles.
then come the downloads. tons, at least 50 games for xbox live. another 25or so on PSN.
lol
