Pok Gai Gamer Rants About Backlog Addiction 2025 😩
Pok Gai Gamer breaks down gamer burnout — tired, broke, and still clicking “add to cart.”
💀 The Backlog Boss Fight
Every gamer’s true final boss isn’t the end-game raid.
It’s the Steam Library.
I got 327 games and touched maybe 12.
Each sale I say “this one I will play.”
Then I go back to the same three titles I been grinding since 2017.
We not gamers anymore — we’re digital collectors of guilt.
🧠 The Pok Gai Cycle of Pain
1️⃣ See trailer → get hype → preorder → burnout.
2️⃣ Feel tired → scroll store for dopamine.
3️⃣ Buy new game → install → never open.
Repeat until broke or dead.
It’s the same loop as relationships lor — you’re not in love, you’re addicted to the thrill of potential.
💸 Too Many Games, Too Little Joy
We drowning in content.
Every month 50 “must-plays.”
Every week another open world.
We don’t have time to play — just time to compare and complain.
🧩 Pok Gai Economics of Burnout
Publishers discovered a new meta: FOMO DLC.
They don’t sell fun — they sell fear of missing fun.
“Limited edition,” “seasonal pass,” “exclusive mission.”
It’s not content — it’s stress.
So we buy games just to feel “prepared.”
But prepared for what lor? A Steam sale war?
🎭 Social Media Made Gaming a Job
Every time I log in I feel like I’m falling behind in a career I don’t have.
Everyone posting screenshots of new titles.
Me still stuck in tutorial for three months.
Now gaming got homework: daily quests, streaks, season passes.
I open game and see checklist longer than tax form.
I’m not having fun — I’m clocking in lor.
🧠 Pok Gai Philosophy of Burnout
We used to escape real life by playing games.
Now we escape games by scrolling real life.
Too many titles, too little meaning.
Every studio screaming for attention like Sham Shui Po street vendors.
Sometimes I miss the days when fun was plug-in and play — not “login, update, battle pass, download patch.”
💀 Pok Gai Verdict
Gamers today aren’t lazy — we’re exhausted.
We work overtime just to afford entertainment that feels like overtime.
Pok Gai rating: 8/10 for truth, –10/10 for energy left to care.
If fun had a patch note, it’d say: “temporarily disabled.”
