Poll Do you uninstall games when you've stopped playing them? (54 votes)
What's your prerogative?

Really, for me it depends. I will uninstall games that I've had quite some fun on, but then l lose interest or achieve 100% in it. But for games that have ongoing content or are just one of my favorites, I will keep coming back to them at one point or another.
Depends on how much room I have left, how much of the game I've completed, and how likely I'll feel like playing it again in the future.
If I know I won't want to play a game again after I'm done with it, then yes I do delete them. Or for some games, I back-up them up on an external HD and keep them for later to free up room on my XB1.
Yes, with a few exceptions. Games like Ultra Street Fighter IV and Unreal Tournament 2004 are permanent installs that I play from time to time. For everything else, however, I'll uninstall them if I don't play them for a while, especially if I have new games incoming. This despite the fact that I now have a hard drive of decent size which I have so far never even used 50% of.
Just a habit I kept from my less bountiful days.
It depends.
Open-World games, and those which have a sentimental value , stay in my PC. Sometimes I visit them to stroll around their environment: kill, craft, explore. Although I uninstall those story-based games (mostly not right after) since its main point is "gone".
Not unless I immediately need the space or if it's a game I rented and am done with. But once I need the space I have to be less selective of what I delete. So far I have yet to return to a game that I've deleted so all in all it hasn't really been a hassle for me.
Why should I have to go out and buy additional parts for my CONSOLE? If I want to tinker with the system, I'll get a gaming PC.
I hope like hell the NEO has an option for a larger HDD from the start, otherwise I'll probably spring for a 2TB SSD.
Xj1 has the option of a larger HDD from the start: 1 TB in some editions.
I usually play on consoles. I have PS4 and XBox One. Since both have limited storage space I might delete some games, but not right after I've played them. They might be on my harddrive for a long time. I do a little clean-up if I need the space. But they might be re-installed later on anyway. I love revisiting old games. There are few games in my collection I have played only once.
Depends on how much room I have left, how much of the game I've completed, and how likely I'll feel like playing it again in the future.

I do uninstall games after I beat it for storage space. I need to play some more Batman Arkham Knight DLC before uninstall it altogether.
I back up the save game files first along with a text file stating where to put the save files when I reinstall the game. Then, I uninstall the games.
For example, once in a while I get the urge to delete all clients and the games that require them from my laptop. Later on, I'd get the urge to play those games again and reinstall them. Then, I just place the save files in the proper folder and resume where I left off.
Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4, GTA V, Crysis, and Warhead don't stay away very long.

Ditto.
Nothing to add.
