02252026 – The Multiplatform Experiment

There is such a thing as having too many choices, especially with video games. The implied definition of a backlog is exactly that, too many choices. So what do you do when you have backlogs on more than one system?

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always owned one (or more) of the latest gaming consoles, on top of whatever PC I had at the time. When I would own more than one console, the really popular games I’d play with friends (I’m looking at you Destiny 2); I’d buy one copy on each platform; which ran up the costs very quickly.

Fast-forward to last year, during Abby’s cancer treatments I could count on one hand how many games I ended up buying, and the vast majority of them were on Switch 2; because I was always on the go. Now that things have slowed down, I can enjoy games more on PC.
