How Many Games Do You Have Installed At One Time?Follow

You sit down at your computer. How many games are installed and ready to go? I realize that you can install a hundred small indie games in the space Skyrim takes but we're not doing hard science here.

I didn't do an official count, but 6-15 sounds about right.

I just answered for my laptop, which probably has 3-4 games installed right now.

The PS3's probably got around 20 digital games installed on it. It's pretty much full up.

Think I only have 4-5 now. Gotta new box and haven't bothered to load up much. The old one had lotsa stuff, probably 50 or so, but it's been turned into scrap or something so I'm not counting it.

Not counting, like, Freecell and the other "games" that come with Windows, I've got WoW (unsubbed), Rift (unsubbed), GW2 (not out), and Skyrim (not playing currently).

So yeah, I'm pretty much playing Freecell right now.

I still have skyrim and dragon age (plus expansions) installed.

I have Warhammer and Warhammer Wrath of Heroes installed - I've never played Wrath of Heroes (but I might some day!). I also have Vanguard on my machine again, cuz I dled it for a 15 day free trail. It was pretty fun to play again. I love their stupid diplomacy game - and all it is is just a type of board game. Also Vanguard is supposed to be going FTP any time. I also keep LoTRO installed . My two kids agree to game with me on occasion and since LoTRO is FTP we play that - we all have low level hobbits.

I think I still have trine on my machine (and I might still finish it), and yesterday I bought zombies vs plants (and played all freakin day!). Oh, and I downloaded the teaser for SIMS3 awhile ago.

Now I'm getting fidgety thinking about all the games I should take off my computer - it might blow up at any second from excessive game storage.

I decided not to count my emulators, so it's probably in between 10 and 15.

35. When you have lots of space, you can leave games sit while you're not playing them.

About 20. Maybe 10 MMOs (some I need to uninstall as I played them once for ZAM and then never touched them again...), maybe 5 Steam games, then a bunch of older games I installed a while ago.

(5x2)+5 = 15
(15x2)+10 = 40
(40x2)+20 = 100

No special reason for it, but that's how I made the groups.

The catalyst for this poll was a Steam forums thread with people lamenting how they can't keep track of their games if they're not on Steam. That seemed a bit odd to me since I only have a couple "main" games installed at one time, plus a couple favorites I might want to hit up and perhaps some smaller indie titles. I've never had trouble keeping track of what's on my computer at any given moment. And when I uninstall a game I'm done with and go to install something new, it's no great shakes to look at a couple sites. But to each their own.

Approximately 7, though I'll only actively play about 3 at a time. It'll probably spoil the polling, but is there a particular correlation you feel might exist here?

15 - 40 is a safe bet for me... I have 19 installed on Steam, plus some larger and then smaller games installed as well.

Sims 3 is not a game though... its a way of life, so I didn't count that.

also: I have a lot of the same games and more, still installed on the old PC. I keep meaning to go through and clean them up because my friend has been abusing the poor thing with all these FPS free Steam games.

I hate FPS...but they are more fun with a friend.
