My profile says that I have 153 games. That's probably about right...
Regarding Digital Distribution. It's pretty much the only way I consider buying games nowadays really, unless something strange happens and I somehow want to get a physical copy. For some time I actually wanted to buy the Collector's Edition of X Rebirth, but even that changed and now I'll just get it on Steam or GreenManGaming.
153 Games Owned. 146 DLC Owned. I hit 10 years on Steam next month. That amazes me. Doesn't feel nearly that long. I've used Steam for 37% of my life.
I've got 89 games, but a good portion of them are from Humble Bundles. I'd have a few more, but I've avoided some games because I know my computer can't run them.
apparently I own 404 on steam (255 are installed)
FFS I need to stop looking at the store page
I've also got like 20 on Origin and some other random games that aren't on Steam
despite having only been (back) online and having a Steam account for two years, I have managed to acquire 174 games. i am a sick, sick man.
If you have had steam for more than 56 seconds and you don't own at least 40 hundred games you are doing it wrong.
steam sales are like crack. its actually kind of fucked up.
Blow the financial crisis. The real reason is Steam... It sucks your wallet dry. But it is games :O GAMES!? People understand...
Also, I have 89 games.
As of now, I own 299 games through Steam. Wow.
And yeah, I'm sort of ashamed of how addicted to it I am. I once bought Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines while it was on sale, even though I could actually see my physical copy of the game throughout the entire transaction. Occasionally I've paid a few dollars more to get a game on Steam rather than GOG. It's a sickness. I've actually said, "Is it on Steam? ...no? Maybe I'll get the 360 version."
Something may be wrong with me.
356.
I have a problem.
Really though I purchase much much cheaper versions of games I love for "archive" purposes.
455, apparently.

I don't mind donating a little money here and there to people making quality games, even if I haven't made time to sit down and play through them yet. I view it as an investment in the future of the medium, because I want those developers to continue making games. It also makes for a nice grid view to scroll through and randomly select one of my 230 currently installed games. :P
@evilmetal: If you want to sell your games, better off to get console versions. Nobody deals in used PC games, not even boxed copies.
8 Months later I am up to 568 and I have played about 4 games in total in those 8 months.
The more fun measurement is when you're looking at multiple full hard drives. When I stuffed another modest ~250GB SSD into this build to alleviate the 1TB spindle drive at its limit, I realized I had a problem. I also stopped installing literally every Steam game I owned, so even that picture is skewed. Currently waiting for a good deal on a 4TB drive.

How comfortable are you with Digital Distribution?
I'm a little concerned about the availability of the games years from now, but it's not like my physical games are totally safe either. They can be damaged or stolen. I prefer downloadable games over packages and discs. I don't want to take care of them and switch the discs. I don't even want a disc drive in my computer. Steam is a lot more convenient for me. With consoles, it's different:
I don't buy digitally on closed platforms. I don't trust Sony to host the games after the PS3 and PS4 are discontinued. The games are there to sell the consoles and vise versa. It makes sense that they would be discontinued just like retail games. It's also bothersome to buy digitally because I made my account which has all my trophies and progress while I lived in another country, so I have to switch to another account just to make purchases and start downloads. With Steam, I can make purchases anywhere using the same account.
I have about 30, almost all bought at less than 50 percent the normal price. Until two months ago I pirated almost all my games and only had Dark Souls, RE4, Left 4 Dead bundle (gift) and Burnout Paradise (free). Now my Steam list looks like this:
According to Steam I own 973 Steam games and 692 DLC's. It does count games with separate multiplayer and singleplayer clients, betas and stuff like that as separate games though, so the number is probably a bit off, but probably not by more than 50 or so.
