How do people go through so many games?

I love games, but just don't have the inclination or perhaps it's the time to play that many. Like for instance, when I was playing quake 3 and then quakelive, I had, and still have, all these single player adventure and action games I wanted to play, but too much time was taken up already just by the online gaming. And to get good at online gaming, whether it's WoW (not my kind of game), racing, fps, whatever, it takes hours, weeks, months, even years of dedication. Where's the time left to play single player games as well? I've got quite a few on hold and some I've never started. I've still got Crysis 2 to play, still got Rage to get fully stuck into, but all I seem to do at the moment is F1. Then there's a bunch of others of different genres, and then there's all these even newer games coming out. Yet I see people playing just about every action game going, finishing them in record time then onto the next. I can't have several games going at once, but I think some people can. There's just too many games to choose from! :p

I have maybe 8 or so hours a week on a good week to game, usually spend most of it CSSing with old pals tbh or procrastinating on the internet

See that's another thing. Aside from all these games, I like to do the forums thing a lot and quite a bit of browsing. Then there's the TV, and then there's the bluray movies. And THEN there's the catching up of dozens of old DVD tv recordings from months ago. And THEN... :D The media world we live in gives us great choice, no doubt about that, but overwhelmingly so.
 
Wow, it's interesting all you people that have so many games. I have just 10 games to play, plus F1 2011 which is just the ongoing time trial, and quakelive if I ever decide to return to it. But 151 games?? That would have cost a small fortune :p

Yes agreed, if people are happy to spend a few quid on tons of games, fine by me. But then as an analogy, it's a bit like if someone could buy dozens and dozens of ferrari's. You would really appreciate just one ferrari, would look after it, drive it, really get stuck into it and enjoy it. With lots of them though, they don't become as precious and you don't really have the same appreciation for any one of them.
