I'm a bit more wary of just going for the Number this year, it's making
it a bit hard to find the games I want to play in all the cruft.  Steam
at least lets me organize them into folders, so it's not as big a
problem there.  Even if there's few giveaways for Steam games, I have
bought tons of cheap games in past years (not this one) that I've lost
interest in even trying. I have a folder called "zGarbage" (z so it's on
the bottom) of 75 games I've actually tried that I've found were
absolute garbage.

 I hesitate to do that, just because I've too often found gems in games
I'd otherwise never consider, and if I consigned games that don't
immediately look appealing to me in a 'Bin Of Unplayability', I might
miss out on something worthwhile.

That folder is only the one's I've actually tried that were so bad I never want to give them another chance.  Although I did throw Marvel Heroes in there because I assumed it was dead forever after it shut down.  Looking through it, about half I might actually give another chance now that some years passed.
I've got 121 games in my default uncategorized folder, which I haven't found the interest to play yet.
I've also got another 77 each in a 'Second Try' folder I intend to get around to giving a second chance as I felt I just wasn't in the mood for the type of game when I gave them my first try.  there's and 77 more in my favorites folder probably half of which I put in there to try next but when I finished whatever I was playing wasn't in the mood for that game.
I've got a couple other folders that have games that may also be in others, one for my son's games (29) and one for games I've finished (81) a good number of those are in my favorites though.
