Steam Deck user deletes 3 TB of games and finishes Portal 2, Digi Mart USA News: A Reddit user identified as u/Adsary46 says he had built up around 3 TB of games across his SSD and memory card, yet had never finished a single story-driven game from start to finish. Much of his time, he said, went into downloading, installing mods, setting up emulators and organizing his library rather than actually playing.
According to the Reddit post as reported by Notebookcheck, he eventually deleted his entire installation by accident. Rather than rebuild the collection, he removed the memory card and installed just one game from the Steam store: Portal 2, a puzzle title he had bought in a sale some time earlier.
A cloud save let him pick up where he left off after the tutorial.
The usual urge to switch games whenever boredom set in was still there, he said, but this time there was nothing else installed to switch to. He stuck with Portal 2, took his time and finished it, saying he had never enjoyed his Steam Deck so much.
He is now considering playing one game at a time and creating a separate category for completed titles.
Notebookcheck notes that many commenters recognised similar habits in their own gaming. The outlet also points to a different approach it has covered: a Steam Deck user who creates a Steam collection of 5 to 30 games he genuinely wants to play, sorts it by “Last Played” and works through the list.
The report notes that these are the outlet’s own additional references and that the original story was not independently verified.
