As a New Years Resolution, I was supposed to spend less money on games this year. In 2024, I spent around $450 on games, so I resolved to mostly play what was in my library this year, but so far, that hasn't panned out. It seems that a few of us are struggling, but I felt like it deserved a thread of its own and I was curious to see if I could collect all my data from various places I purchase games and see what I've bought and what I spent, starting in January:
January
February
March
April
May
June
July
August
Well, there we have it. I'm pretty much on track to keep up with my yearly spend of about $400, given we still have 3 or so months to go in the year. I'm a little disappointed I didn't stick with my resolution, but ultimately not too sad I've spent the money that I did. I feel like I've gotten a lot of fun from what I did buy, with only a few stinkers in there that I don't care too much about. And to my credit, most of the stuff I've bought has generally been pretty cheap, with KCD2 being the most expensive one at $64 for the Deluxe Edition and the next highest being Tempest Rising at only $39.99.
How have the rest of you done? Did you have a resolution to spend less? Play less? Do you feel defeated or generally content with what you've bought?
