    Smart move, you’re playing Game Categorization, the Game for free on Steam’s dime.

        We’re not buying games, we’re categorizing games. Again, the game we’re playing is called “Game Categorization, the Game,” and it costs nothing to play it.

    No I already have a full time job.

    I just have a finished one where I move them after I finish the story or I’m done with a game.

    I categorize them based on their franchise. But if they’re not part of any franchise or they’re the only game I have they’d just be uncategorized.

    Man, calling them “backlogs” seems like a very unhealthy way of thinking about it. They’re games you play for fun and enjoyment, not work you’re behind on.

    My categories are: Games I shall play one day: just all the games I haven’t given a fair shake yet and would like to get around to at some point.

    Games I am playing: games that I am actively playing, usually with some activity within the last month

    Games I am done with: games I no longer want to play for whatever reason. Used to be “Games I have completed” but that didn’t make much sense with multiplayer games or roguelikes, and it worked better for games I hadn’t completed and just could not be arsed to complete.

    Free games: games I have gotten for free and so have no plans to play.

    Also have one for online multiplayer games and one for local multiplayer for when friends want to play something

    Most of the time tho I just use the sort by recent and only installed bittons since those are the games I want to see anyway

    Thats a lot of categories. I’ve got “current”, “Done with”, “never again” and the uncategorized, since functionally that is my backlog.

    I stopped doing that after the first few hundreds… Now I’m at >5000 or so and only do a “bought to actually play” category 😁

    Only one custom category for the best indie games.

    But I dont really need it since I uninstall games I dont play and my library view is filtered to installed only:
