I found a loophole in my own backlog rule and it's called 'games under five hours'

The rule is five completions before any purchase. The rule says nothing about how long those games have to be. So I sorted the backlog by length and went on a spree. A Short Hike in one evening. What Remains of Edith Finch in another. Gris over the weekend. Three completions in six days. The past version of me who wrote the rule is furious, and the present version has something in the cart. This is either cheating or the system working as designed. Either way I need two more short ones.

Textbook exploit, and the dev team, meaning also you, should have caught it in testing. Portal. Three or four hours and there isn't a wasted minute.
