    Thats a lot of categories. I’ve got “current”, “Done with”, “never again” and the uncategorized, since functionally that is my backlog.

    Man, calling them “backlogs” seems like a very unhealthy way of thinking about it. They’re games you play for fun and enjoyment, not work you’re behind on.

    My categories are: Games I shall play one day: just all the games I haven’t given a fair shake yet and would like to get around to at some point.

    Games I am playing: games that I am actively playing, usually with some activity within the last month

    Games I am done with: games I no longer want to play for whatever reason. Used to be “Games I have completed” but that didn’t make much sense with multiplayer games or roguelikes, and it worked better for games I hadn’t completed and just could not be arsed to complete.

    Free games: games I have gotten for free and so have no plans to play.

    Also have one for online multiplayer games and one for local multiplayer for when friends want to play something

    Most of the time tho I just use the sort by recent and only installed bittons since those are the games I want to see anyway

    Only one custom category for the best indie games.

    But I dont really need it since I uninstall games I dont play and my library view is filtered to installed only:

    Guess I’m kinda normal. I just install what I wanna play, filter by playable and store by last played.

    Steam user since the early days, and no categories here. Why bother. Thousands of games, too much work.

    Same thing with profiles, like what do I need that shit for?

    Edit: I do want to say, I admire your organization.

    … New Years resolution to say something nice a lot more often, we call could use it …

    I have an _installed, a backlog in general, genre based dynamic categories, and a few special categories such as “bad games that should feel bad”, “broke shit check for patch later” “GFWL Broken” and “games of lost interest”

    Categories? I don’t use categories. Just a single giant list! Also, I never clear out my email inbox and let it pile up into the thousands! And no one can stop me. MWHAHAHAA!

    I categorize them based on their franchise. But if they’re not part of any franchise or they’re the only game I have they’d just be uncategorized.

    I tried, but dynamic filters were not good enough, so i gave up.

    Only have “Ready To Play”, “All Played” and “Uncategorized” now.
