I'll sometimes pick up titles on Steam Sales that seem interesting at the time, but I but never get to them, or they just don't grab my attention for long.

I don't 'bulk buy' now but I have done in the past. I have loads of games that I have hardly touched.
I either didn't research the game before purchase and hated it,or there was a Steam sale or a bundle deal or someone recommended it and I didn't like it.
What a waste and if I could gift my unused Steam collection I would.
I can't remember the last game I ever completed either,it may have been Star Trek Elite Force 2 (2003). I just don't have great staying power any more.

All these things for me. And if it's during a sale, to give a game/ genre/ publisher/ developer a whirl, see if I might be interested in what they have to offer down the line. For example, I picked up Borderlands before BL2 came out on sale to see if I would be interested. I've enjoyed both of them immensely.

Bargain hunting! There are a good number of games I'm interested in, but not enough to pay much for. If I see something for $5 that I've had my eye on, I'll often pick it up. The conflict: I'm a very moody player. Sometimes all I want for a month or two are WWII games. Then scifi. Then stealth. Then RTS. Then racing. Then just plain cinematic fun. I get to them eventually. It's like buying in bulk for long term savings, but you don't get immediate benefits.

Some game genres have a lot more longevity then others I find milsims tend to have a great deal of longevity much more then say a first person Shooter. I have been playing Steel beasts for over ten years there has been for few upgrades but the beauty of a game like SB it never gets old every mission is a challenge. then you have the map and mission editor I have only been playing DCS for two years but I think it will be a long term sim for me. As for people who buy games They never play just for the sake of it. I say this get a life, Computer games sims are a great form of entertainment but nothing beat getting out there and living

I'm guilty of this. I have plenty of games that I only played a few times, then left to collect dust. It happens because I purchase a game thinking I'll like it, then I'll realize quickly that I don't and then that's it, i don't play it anymore. I guess my biggest problem is that I get drawn in by hype. Recent examples - Watchdogs, Rome 2, Batman, Shadow of Mordor. I bought into the hype, then realized I didn't like these games at all.
