Do you compulsively buy every new video game?

I've a border line obsession about buying every new game, that has positive feedback. What's the point of buying new games nowadays, when most of the time they're unfinished, have bugs/glitches? I've noticed that my backlog of games continues to grow. I'll buy a new game, shelf my other games without completing them for months. Why do we constantly buy new games, is it really necessary? You could wait a few weeks/months after release, buy a more complete product with updates, at a reduced price. I've had enough of publishers, developers releasing unfinished products, trying to milk us the consumer with inflated release prices. Do you really need so many new games, or is it the hype machine that makes you purchase a release day game? I done it again with The Division...

  • This was definitely me as well, buying games immediately if I had any interest at all. I am trying to force myself to slow down now, start to play through some of the backlog, and pick up other games when they're on sale. I'm hoping to hold out for rise of the tomb raider until they have the ps4 release ready and then buy the game with all dlc. Time will tell, but my wallet is happier.
