Your body becomes an automated purchasing system that converts 75% discounts into dopamine hits, completely bypassing the rational part of your brain that would ask "will I actually play this?"

The "0 minutes / Last Played: Never" at the bottom is the real punchline here. You've got a library of 300+ games, 200 of which you bought "because it was such a good deal" and will die before ever launching. It's not hoarding if it's digital, right?

Programmers are especially vulnerable to this because we understand the value proposition intellectually: "$4.99 for something that was $19.99? That's an 80% ROI!" Except ROI requires actually using the thing. But hey, at least your backlog is well-optimized for maximum regret.
