I used to be same but I stopped doing it. I just started going through games as I wanted and stopped following hype trains.

I’m in the same boat, but am realizing that I do miss the conversations around the hype train. When you play a game that came out several years ago, it’s harder to have a conversation about it.
Still trying to find that happy medium, but not buy games I won’t play.

I hate the "spend more money to spend less money" solutions, but I have to say, the Steam Deck helped me a lot with this.
Sure, my first sale after owning it was a bit crazy with the purchases... But after that, it really helped me get into a "finish your backlog before buying anything else" mindset for a variety of reasons. Being able to suspend a game and resume where you left off, playing in bed, playing next to my fiance in the couch... Plus, older games tend to work perfectly without finicky behavior.

I have years worth of backlogs 300+ games maybe played 100. Most of which came from various bundles.
But the deck has made going back to these games awesome.

The great irony is that minutes after I posted this my 9yo son came in to ask about buying another Switch game with his allowance. I had the audacity to comment that he never finished most of the other games he's bought. 😅
And then I realized my blunder and let him buy the game.

Bought like 8 games I'll never finish before the next sale. With my 3 month old and all the left over games from the last one... I feel, you
