Do you? I like having finished games installed on my pc as a reminder that I beat them. They're sorta like digital trophies hanging around in my games folder, I might not play them again but just having them around reminds me of playing them all the way through.

Nope, I uninstall when Windows has slowed to a crawl. Well, I used to, but it got so incredibly annoying - that and the re-installation of Windows - that I gave up and bought a mac.

As for the games as kind of badges, I have a vertical rack, and the games are split between those I've finished and those I haven't.

No, but my PC isn't primarily used for gaming so I don't really have enough games on here to need to. When I upgrade my PC will have enough memory that it wouldn't be an issue to have a fair few games installed.

No, Games have replay value often enough. That, or they're the type you don't actually finish (Sims, Spore, Viva Pinata).

Currently I don't, but with all my 100+ games form steam installed and some other non steam games my 600 gb hard drive is slowly getting full, maybe when I'm 50 gigs from capacity I might start uninstalling games I've beaten.

No. I have plenty of hard drive space, and I regularly replay games so I might as well keep them installed.

Nope, I have a gargantuan hard drive, and I often get impulses concerning which game to play, and I honestly hate the long install-process. (Which is one of the reasons I have more games for my PS3...)

I don't, but I seem to change computers every year for one reason or another so the point is moot.

I'm on a laptop, so I need to uninstall games to save space. But if I particularly liked one I might keep it around as a sort of decoration, even if I don't plan to play it again anytime soon.

I'll uninstall a game once I've finished it unless I use the Multiplayer a lot. I have a similar system to Bobbity in that I separate the games I've finished and the games I've yet to finish.

P.s. Is it just me or are these CAPTCHAS getting more and more difficult to understand and complete?

I only uninstall games to free up space when my drive gets over 50% full... which is a rare occurrence.

Which solved the whole problem because now you dont have any games to install!

Ba-dum-tshhhh
Ouch! True though.

I keep the PC exclusively for games now, and it's not quite so bad anymore. [sub]I still hate Windows though...[/sub]
