When did we start making games into chores?

If you want to play Call of Duty or Fornite every day (I say this as a non fan) who gives a crap? The whole point from the beginning was to play what makes you happy.

Hearing about people's backlogs like their games are a chore is stupid.

an accumulation of something, especially uncompleted work or matters that need to be dealt with

Sounds like backlog is accurate

Because I want to play them, but I also want to play what I'm currently playing.

It's pretty much purely an adult thing. If you're flush and you're in the mood to buy up some games on a system you know for a fact you enjoy playing on, you can very quickly stash up on a few years' worth of playing material, potentially. It's a backlog.

people should be better referring their backlog as simply games that are bad purchases and not worth playing

Exactly my point. You're spending money to make gaming a chore. That's not smart at all.

There are many amazing games in existence now, and there isnt enough time to play them all. Hence, the backlog.

I have multiple games I want to play eventually, but I'm not worried if I never get to them; I dont pay for games I'm not going to immediately start playing.

I call it a backlog simply because I haven't beaten those games. I don't consider it a chore and still play the games I want to.

With OCD gaming can be work or a chore at times.

I think simpletons with limited taste in gaming and lots of free time simply dont understand a backlog.
