By "droughts", I mean the period of time where most if not all of the PDX titles you own have updates in the near future, making it harder to start a new game. Right now, EU4 has a big update on the way, CK3 has one in the more distant future, Stellaris and HOI4 are being patched regularly, and Vicky 3 has some nice QOL updates right around the corner. All this great stuff on the way has me so freaking excited and grateful...

...but it also makes it impossible to play any of them in their current states, because it'll feel hollow or broken without all the new stuff. Does anyone else have this problem, and what do you do during it?
 
Reducing my Pile of Shame...
 
Gods, I remember when computer games came on discs in boxes, with instruction manuals. My sister and I used to sit around reading the colored manuals for the newest Sims 2 expansion as we waited for it to install, getting excited as we saw all the new stuff we were getting. Then the manuals were in black and white... then they were just basic instructions... then they were gone.
