I used Claude to reduce my game backlog, and it figured out the pattern I’d been missing for years
Some gamers believe that a game backlog is eternal, never to be cleared in its entirety. It's a massive collection of games amassed over a lifetime, reflecting countless impulse purchases over years and years of Steam and Epic Games sales. In my case, the problem wasn't so much the size of the backlog (it was just 45 games) as the lack of drive to pick up a new title.

Some gamers believe that a game backlog is eternal, never to be cleared in its entirety. It’s a massive collection of games amassed over a lifetime, reflecting countless impulse purchases over years and years of Steam and Epic Games sales.

Over the last five years, I have seen my motivation steadily decline to the point where I preferred watching a YouTube video over playing a game. It’s not that I didn’t try playing new games, but I could never get past the first few hours. So, it was time to get some help from AI. I decided to feed my game backlog into Claude, so it could do what I couldn’t: devise a step-by-step plan that I could actually execute to reduce my backlog. I didn’t just want generic recommendations; I needed a customized plan that took into account my likes, dislikes, and gaming behavior. Claude created a phase-wise strategy to address my lack of motivation, and told me the real reason behind my long-pending backlog.
