i voted "under 5" because my 5th game, Angband, does not install - it's fully contained in a folder coming in at a whopping, mind-numbing 25Mb of space.
the other are Reflex, Blacklight Retribution (both FPS), Minecraft (with IndustrialCraft 2 mod) and FTL.

About 15 - usually only play 1-2 games at a time, and a half dozen multiplayer games for occasional play. The rest are games I've played recently, but am planning another playthrough of. Don't have a lot of space on my HD, so the minute one game is finished, its uninstalled.

Exactly 28 at the moment, I have way more games but I tend ot uninstall games that aren't being played, I'm not the kind of person that goes on Steam sale and buys whatever is cheap, I sit and think to myself "am I actually going to ever play this game?" and pass on it if I'm not, some people on the other hand buy and just brag about their library regardless of playing them or not.

At the moment I have about 70 installed, but I recently reinstalled my Windows 10 and the rest is on my back-up drives, or simply not downloaded at all. I own some retail (about 40), then on Steam (about 130, not even half of which are installed/downloaded), and on GoG.com (30). That's excluding the F2P games, most of which are MMORPGs (on various platforms or standalones). On my previous Windows installation I had about 85 installed, but I started to lack HDD space. I recently bought two new drives, one 4TB (WD Black) and 2TB (WD Red). I'm going to install everything I can basically, since I hate having to install / uninstall / reinstall due to lack of HDD space (which was my issue previously). I'll definitely try for the 200 installed games mark.

Approx ~100. I did a large purge about half a year ago and I trimmed about 30 games that I didn't really play but kept around solely for benchmarking.

The games I have installed are under active play rotation, and at any time I can decide to replay any of them. I also heavily replay old games.
