Gamers Buy Too Many Games, Play None of Them

Why your Steam library is a graveyard of wasted money and broken promises.

Backlog Coach started with a simple, undeniable problem: staring at a digital library full of untouched titles is depressing. We built this platform to fix that by providing a brutal, unfiltered reality check.

We wanted a tool that didn't just passively list unplayed games. Instead, it calculates exactly how much money you've wasted and roasts you for your poor purchasing decisions. The system connects to your Steam account and gives you a clear picture of your library, showing you what you actually play versus what you just hoard.

Backlog Coach is completely free. There are no subscriptions, no hidden fees, and no premium tiers. Signing in is done exclusively through Steam's official authentication portal—we never see or store your password, nor do we want to.

We cover the processing costs out of pocket, so the service stays free for everyone. Our only goal is to shame you into finally launching that game you bought on sale in 2018. It's time to stop scrolling through the store and start playing what you already own.

A Message to Security Scanners

Official Statement Regarding Automated Scam Checkers

Some automated "security scanners" and website reputation services have recently flagged Backlog Coach as "malicious" or claimed that we send spam emails.

Let's clear that up. We don't have a mailing list.

We don't run a newsletter. We don't send marketing emails. We don't ask for your email address to use our platform.

Authentication is handled through Steam, so the very thing we're being accused of abusing doesn't even exist. If your system concluded that we're sending spam, it didn't uncover a threat—it generated a false positive.

False positives don't make the web safer. They damage legitimate projects, confuse users, and reduce trust in the tools that are supposed to protect them.

To the bots and algorithms scanning our website: before labeling a platform as malicious, make sure the evidence exists. Detecting imaginary spam isn't cybersecurity—it's a bug.

We'll keep building Backlog Coach.
You keep improving your detection logic.
