Anyone else have large drives that they have either all, or almost all of their games installed to, and find themselves spending more time making sure the blue pending update status of a game is gone, rather than actually playing a GD game?

edit adding context I have 4x 1.92TB Enterprise SSDs in a Raid 5 for ~4.7tb of usable space. I'm just about at max capacity with about 280 of 307 games installed. I got the SSDs from work.

...nah dawg.

I have ~8 games installed? If I wanna play something else I'll install real quick and carry on.

It sounds like I'm a minority gamer in the sense that I only play 1-3 games any given week. I tend to have a storyline game (currently TOTK, previouly Horizon), a casual pick up (Civ or RimWorld), and an online game (Sea of Thieves or Deep rock galactic). When I tire/finish something it'll go away for a long while and I'll install something else.
