For those of you who use the Steam games client, pray let us know :)

At time of posting this, mine is 602Gb

Would have to admit though a percentage of that is rubbish, some games I've bought (usually cheap but not always) have been absolute crapola and they will never be played.

I suppose I could delete local content and grey them out but something tells me to keep them there, I think 'Go back and have another go, maybe they will seem better' but they probably won't.

Unrelated, almost, but I've just got stuck on Darksiders 1 on the last part of the first chapter. Some games are really rather annoying. Guess I won't be buying Darksiders II then :( Glad I only paid a few quid for Darksiders 1.
 
25.9GB :o

Although it's only that size as I've cleared out lots of the games that I no longer play. It's easy enough to re-download them again in the future, so I've not been too fussed (although if I had a bandwidth limit then I'd reconsider!).

At the moment, all I've got installed is Team Fortress 2, Orcs Must Die 2 and C&C:4 (played this for the first time last night).

I'm sure that come the new year sales, I'll be stocking up on some new games again :D.
 
I actually had a clean out the other day, it was up around the 700Gb mark! Got rid of a load of games that i have finished or not played etc.

Mine is 44GB, but I try and stay away from Steam games if I can as it annoys me when they make you sign in just to play some games. What happened to the good ole days when you installed a game and you didn't need an internet connection or have to log into their server just to play the damn thing!

Right, frustrations out of the way and I'm confident I've contained the green beast, however, Steam does not want to make me angry lol

Mr Flops, I've got Darksiders 1 and I think I'm pretty far, although some of the levels do leave you head scratching on what to do or where to go next. I love playing Dawn of War Retribution, even though some of the levels can seem more of the same and you could say that about many games really.

My Steam folder is on the SSD drive and I wish I had installed it on one of the 1TB HDD. I know you can move it, but I just can't be @rsed and knowing me, I'll stuff it up and do something wrong and cause myself an extra hour of retrieving/fixing lol. I've got 12 gigs free on the SSD and its out of the red, so enough free space for it to do whatever Windows requests it to do.

Finally, 602GB is a game folder size I have never seen before Mr Flops and I know how you mean when you say about keeping the other games installed just in case. If you've got the space, why not leave them there is what I say. Look after yourselves all.

That won't be Steam, that will be the game's publisher insisting you do that, they only let Steam sell their games if they can foist their archaic DRM upon us, EA, Microsoft Games For Windows Live & Ubisoft are the worst culprits.

How I hate EA/Origin :)

But I tolerate Ubisoft. To a degree.

This ^^

That has nothing to do with Steam, That would happen if you played via Steam or not. Take GTAIV for example and Rockstar Social club. ;)

BTW< even though that says 'Games' on my Screenshot, its actually just my Steam drive. I have like two games that aren't Steam. :)
 
I'm only at 5 GB, but I haven't re-downloaded much since I wiped my computer a couple months ago.
 
Here's my other games on that 2Tb disk:
