As the author says in this article, it’s not their original idea, but this is the first time I’m hearing about it.
It basically boils down to play a game from your backlog for a bit, and whether you liked it or not, or kept playing it or bounced right off, you now have permission to remove it from your backlog. It sounds very freeing.
I take perhaps a little too much pride in having a very small catalogue of unplayed games (not because I play games a lot, but because I am dreadfully cheap and hardly ever buy anything lol), but even an old miser like me could probably benefit from a little tidying.

I find the backlog phenomenon bizarre.
When I buy a new game, I’m excited to launch it and play it ASAP. The idea of buying any game I don’t care enough to play ASAP is… unfathomable to me.
Especially in a world where most games hit their historical low at least once every 3 months. It’s not like it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy them for cheap or something.
I consider the wishlist to be an extension of my backlog.
