Finally caved and deleted my Steam wishlist of 1,247 games

I've been sitting on this massive wishlist since 2016, telling myself I'd get around to playing all those indie titles one day. Last week I saw a post here about how hoarding wishlists is just another form of digital clutter, and it hit me hard. I actually opened it up and realized I wasn't excited about 90% of those games anymore. So I just clicked delete on the whole thing in one go. Felt weird at first, like losing a safety net, but now my Steam front page actually shows stuff I might want now instead of stuff from five years ago. Has anyone else tried purging something like this and felt the same weird relief afterwards?

Deleting the whole thing in one go seems like a mistake honestly. Some of those old games might have been dirt cheap during a sale and now you've lost track of them forever. Keeping a wishlist is just bookmarking stuff for later, not really clutter, and a quick scroll through once a year to clear out the dead weight wouldve done the same thing without the drama.

My buddy Josh once deleted his entire 200-game backlog and then spent two days regretting it.
