I have to disagree with OP's framing of "completing 15 games" as some sort of arbitrary limit to how many games a person can consume/year.
By such a definition I never played a single arcade game in my life? Many games don't have endings or poorly defined ones and you can still sink 100's of hours into them. I can buy a game, play it for 2h and be perfectly content with the experience and with my purchase.

Dude! I played more than 400 games on the C64, 1200+ range on SNES & a similar number for PS1. Countless quarters put into every new pinball and arcade I came across. How on earth can you only have 150 games lifetime? You kinda answer the question, so live a little. Install MAME and go on a fucking discovery quest!It boggles my mind how people are able to play so many games. Over my whole life so far I’ve played maybe 150 games or so. How people find the time to play hundreds of games within a couple of years I’ll never know, especially today where some of the biggest games are ‘service games’ that you can play for months or years.
Then again, the amount of games I buy per year hasn’t really changed since my childhood. As a kid I got maybe five or six games each year, either as gifts for birthday/christmas or because I saved enough money to buy them myself. That number hasn’t really changed after I became an adult; I’ve never felt the need to buy more than a handful of games per year, each of which I usually play for weeks or months.
