Based on my no glasses misreading of the title, I propose this is called “media constipation.”
"Media consumption"

I was just given expedition33 as a gift. I really want to play it. That was 2 weeks ago. I haven’t played anything in 2 months, let alone something I really fucking want to.

When you have the time, you don’t have the motivation.
When you have the motivation, you don’t have the time.
When you have both, you don’t have the energy.

And then when you do get around to playing them the game has become dated, trying to play Witcher 1 after playing 3 was a downer lol

Lol, witcher 1 is exactly the game that is unplayed in my library.

the game, or one of the hundreds or thousands?

Tbf Witcher 1 has aged very poorly imo. W2 has aged better, though it was always an unnecessarily complicated game if you ask me. I played through it once, put it down and never came back. Even though there are variations to the story I’d like to experience. Not so with W3.

I wish once game studios perfect the game mechanic and code, they go back and remake the previous games using the new tech, that would be so much better than just improving the graphics and trying to sell it as remastered, but I guess there isn’t enough profit in doing that

Alternative take: I don’t have any quarrels supporting the developer/artist/creator/arthouse movie/bandcamp musician without any consumption of their media if I think they should continue to do whatever they’re doing.

As somebody who supported a pair of Kickstarter games back in the day and still hasn't had time to even watch them in video let alone play them himself, I absolutely agree with this.

I’ve started a new rule. When I buy a new game, I install it and play it, even for a few minutes, within the week.

My GOG library is currently larger than my Steam… Though I did play, uh, 6 games that were sitting on those accounts for over a year - Cryptark (gave up early), Roboquest (really fun), Dead Estate (unlocked ~36% of achivs), Alien Rampage, Coromon, Mists of Noyah (great bones, awful everything else, long rant of mine).
It’s also a bit weird to see some games “last played: 8 years ago” with me remembering fuck all about them.

And you say G*mers aren’t brainwashed sheep, conditioned to support their favourite monopoly?
