Did i Have a Gaming Problem

 i was clearing out my email and discovered that i kept many emails for Xbox purchases since 2018. Being a whatever i am, i inputted the receipts in a spreadsheet.  How out of control did i get with spending on individual video games during the span of 2018-2022 (not including Game Pass Ultimate)?  It feels like this is not all there is (some seem missing).

$1,140.30 (for 118 digital games).  

$460+ of that could be accounted for with Bing/Microsoft Rewards Xbox Gift Cards.  There were probably some gift card actual gifts in there too.

Yeah, that seems a little high (and i might not have really paid all of them).  Many of these were decent discounts (under $10), however some were overpays, like:  Yakuza Like a Dragon. Some were overpriced Backwards Compatibility digital copies.   

This does not include: Immortals Fenix Rising ($43.95), Assassin's Creed Valhalla ($26.40), Halo Guardians ($8.78), Borderlands GOTY ($10.87), Forza Horizon 4 ($28.01) purchased digitally at Amazon.com. 

Now, the Xbox Series S that i barely have used (decent machine) is another story (with Game Pass it doesn't have the storage space i would prefer, i would always want to use the Xbox One version of games). Also, my launch Xbox One still works pretty well.
