Nearly 37% Of All Registered Steam Games Have Never Been Played
More than a third of the games on Steam have never been played.

Initially, I found this a little hard to believe.
However, I recently went back and took a look at my backlog - which I have been trying to diminish in scale - to check and see how much of a dent in it I could make if I focused on playing short games.
The calculations shocked me.
I went and collected a list of 167 of the shortest games in my library. In total, completing of them would take 606.5 hours. Considering I average 20 hours a week, it would take me 30 weeks... to finish 15% of the shortest games in my backlog.
I don't even want to imagine what it would take to finish the 15% longest games.
In light of this, its much less surprising that 36% of all Steam games have never been played, and many more never finished.
