While this statistic may seem a bit high, if you are a fan of Steam sales, you are probably surprised the number isn't higher. I buy lots of stuff on sale that I know I won't have a chance to play but, like most of you, I'll be damned if I'm going to miss out on a deal.
The “owned but unplayed” phenomenon is an extremely widespread issue across Steam according to our data. It shows up most frequently in games included in bundles, offered at heavily reduced prices, or simply given away to players who have yet to actually play them. It’s not limited to those games, though; in fact, out of the roughly 781 million games registered to Steam accounts, our data shows only 493 million, or 63 percent, have been played even once.
