Why do people buy new games when they already own games they

I don't. I almost never play games on release especially now that they aren't full games until a year after release

Because someone can recommend a game to you, you play it and you end up not liking it?

>>389142783
I have so many games that if I were to only play new games when I finish my backlog I would never play any new game.

>>389142783
Because people get bored of playing the same game. I got a lot of unfinished exclusive games on my PS4: Horizon Zero Dawn, Bloodborne, Yakuza 0, Nioh.

I will probably never finish them because I've forgotten the controls etc. and I just ordered Persona 5. Instead I play assfaggots on my PC.

Even with a recommendation you should always do your homework before making a purchase.

Why not take a break to read a book or something? Buying another game just makes you less likely to ever go back to the unfinished one.

I'm really stupid. Also afraid of niche games going out of print.

but I have finished everything

I do take breaks, but I usually lose my will to continue a game from where I left off when doing that.

Because if I wanted to play the games I haven't finished, they would be finished. I don't get paid for playing games I don't like, why bother?

My backlog is very real so i've cut out buying new stuff almost completely, as well as cutting back on humble bundles. This way stuff like Horizon will be really cheap by the time i get to them.

Kinda like women and shoes amirite?

not so much, sometimes I buy games to support the company even if I don't have too much time to play them right now.

also my time depends a lot on external variables so maybe I buy a game thinking I'll have time and then I have to work nonstop for some weeks, it sucks.

>Forcing yourself to finish all the games you own
Not every game is worth completing. You play them for as long as you're engaged and having fun. If you feel like playing something else and a new game that looks cool came out, go play it.

>no hobbies besides drugs
>enjoy 1 or 2 games so i spend thousands on games to play them a few minutes each and regret it after as I know nothing else will ever give me joy

I keep a small collection of personal 10/10 games and any game I don't wanna finish gets either donated to my local library or sold. I used to be feel like I had to finish everything I bought and my backlog was overwhelming. But now even if I hate a game maybe someone else will find some enjoyment out of it so I don't feel so bad. But now I have no backlog ever cause the few games I do keep are all my favorites so obviously I've finished them all.

I'm guilty of this. It's a problem

This is pretty much the most typical answer. Also, sometimes life gets in the way and a multiplayer game you like will lose it's player base or your friends won't be playing it anymore by the time you can play.

This happened to me with Destiny, I moved for work shortly after I bought it and my new apartment only had satellite internet so I couldn't play online games anymore. I never even finished the campaign even though I really liked the game. I couldn't even play alone due to a mandatory connection.
