Steam will no longer crash for the few people who own over 25,000 games | PC Gamer

An update for Steam's beta client pushed yesterday fixed a possible crash for owners with over 25,000 games in their library

LOL - I saw that and was head scratching for a while.

Damn. I thought I was doing well with 500!

 

[Rroff]

Whew was getting worried there.

 

[linktoinsanity]

Damn. I thought I was doing well with 500!

And I thought 395 was a lot!

You wouldn’t get through half of that by the time they stick you in your wooden overcoat.

I can still just about remember when someone won every game on steam back in 2011

The thought just crossed my mind that it must be impossible to have them all installed on one drive. I just can get my head around there being that many games.

Maybe on some form of NAS or cloud storage

There are a lot of really bad half-finished asset flip "games" on Steam, but even the most optimistic person probably wouldn't get suckered more than a couple of dozen times.

There is a 100TB drive. That might do it, depending on the average installation size of the games.

25000 is that real

 

[Scougar]

sigh of relief! I was so close at about 50 to 75 lol.

I think the levels are bit more eye-popping! They must have spent some dosh to get enough badges made to get a level in the 1000+ range.
