Are you addicted to buying games on Steam?

I've been going through my friends list recently and noticed that about 90% of individuals own games which they never play, yet they still buy cheap titles purely for the fact that they're either -90% off or worth literally less than £1.

I've personally bought a few of these titles myself purely for the fact that they're worth literally nothing seen as though I usually end up selling in-game items on the community market from games such as TF2 and CS:GO.

Additionally, I've also gathered half a dozen or two of games which came from the Humble Bundle. I usually end up seeing a title I really want and pay that little bit extra (on the humble bundle) to get it and just end up getting all the other smaller indie titles along with it. Consequently, I've ended up with around 47% of my entire steam library of games which I've never played before.

What is it about Steam that makes you want to purchase games so frequently? How many games do you guys own and what is your 'unplayed game percentage'? How much have you spent on games in the past and how often do you buy them full price?

I've used this website to work out the unplayed game percentage: https://steamdb.info/calculator/

EDIT:

Here are my stats:

Value with sales: £614
238 games with a total value of: £1962
Games not played: 112 (47%)
Hours on record: 3,438.3h (43.5h last two weeks)
