    Here is the source article. It’s light on methodology. Are they going off of price of the game at launch? I maybe pay full price for a game once or twice per year. 50-70% of my unplayed games are probably from Humble Bundle/Humble Choice.

      every time this gets brought up, it rarely mentions humble bundle even though it’s probably a major contributing factor.

      how many of us have bought bundles for 1 or 2 games we were interested in and ended up with 10 more that you never even had an intention of booting up in the first place?

        In addition to that there’s also a few games in my library that I intend to play later but bought it while it’s on sale as it might be more expensive when I have time to play it later…

      Probably the same price used by SteamDB to calculate library value, which seems to be some version of “current price” or “most recent non-sale price”.
