I don't think it's worthwhile to invest so much time and money into playing every single game every made "just in case". I have, on occasion, run into a game that grabbed my interest like The Magic of Scheherazade about a year ago, which I bought knowing nothing about it other than I liked the box art. It turned out to be every single game genre at once, from turn based RPG to overworld Zelda style combat, all existing separate and simultaneously. I don't regret it.
However, by and large, the thought that just MAYBE there is a game I "would have liked" doesn't keep it me up at night. I can let the internet inform me of hidden gems, and that has been reliable enough. If something falls through the cracks, so be it. I only have this one life.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
