530 dollars for 251 games in almost 22 years of service. Steam only logged about 210 hours in those years, which is bullshit. There’s almost no time recorded in Half-life, Day of defeat or Counterstrike and those are the games I played the most. I also got most games through Humblebundle, where I spent 270 dollars since June 2012. But as I haven’t been playing much on PC ever since the PS3 came out, the real money went to Sony and I don’t even want to know.
If you dig you can find this on Amazon. I’ve been buying from Amazon since 1995 and the last time I looked my purchases were somewhere around $260,000. And that was before covid.
Do you have a link? I’ll start looking, will edit this comment if I find it.
Edit: Link to Steam total spend: https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/AccountSpend
Edit: This seems to be how to do it for Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/hz/privacy-central/data-requests/preview.html - My data hasn’t come through yet so I don’t know how difficult it is to get the sum of all orders/refunds.
I did pretty good. So far 530 games for $1867
That’s about $3.50 per game
I often leave games in my wishlist until they are 70-80% off
3465 € in 21 years at today’s prices for 287 games. Given that I mostly buy at historical lows the estimate of 1033 € that can be found on the same SteamDB page applies to me.
3,6 € per game, 49 € per year.
Given the tears, the emotions and the joy I got repeatedly from all those (mostly indie) titles, it’s well worth it. Praised be GabeN and all of Valve!
It’s not wasted if you’ve enjoyed
Oh I checked. If was so much
6.5k in 15 years. I did spend a lot when I was younger.
Woo $6k!
“May” nothing, I don’t.
Oh, it’s not too bad. Rounds up to $60 a year and averages out to about $15 per game.
TotalSpend 1433$ OldSpend 434$
Not sure if I should add the two ? or is the second one included in the first one ? Anyway that’s not too bad for a 14yo account
It’s formatted weird on the Steam page but I have this text at the top.
“TotalSpend” is the total amount of external funds applied to your account. This value is used to determine if an account is a “Limited User Account”.
“OldSpend” is the amount of external funds applied before Friday, April 17, 2015 18:00:00 UTC. If your account was linked to Perfect World for CS:GO or Dota 2,
“PWSpend” will be the approximate USD value of funds applied from Perfect World, otherwise that value will be zero. If your account has applied external funds in Steam China,
“ChinaSpend” will report that total, in RMB.
Weirdly I also have a row for “PackageOnlySpend” that doesn’t have a definition.
21 years on Steam was terrifying to see.
Yep. I’ve known about this feature for a while. I always think my numbers are insane and someone always comes along and one ups me so while I’m near the right end of the bell curve, I’m by no means at the end.
I‘ve basically spent 17 bucks a month for 650 games and countless hours of fun, it‘s alright. I‘d be way more disappointed with myself if I looked at my League spending
Humble Monthly is awesome.
$3643.42 USD
I have 1139 games. Had the account for 20+ years. Most of the games are from humblebundle and according to anothet website that goes off of retail prices, total would be over $15k.
Wow, I’m at ~$3800 and have 535 games on a 15-ish year account, you’ve done good for yourself. I’ve also brought in some games from humble bundles, but if I have to guess these total 20% of my purchases at most.
Thanks. I rarely buy full price. My first purchase which isnt included was the Half-Life Orange box so i could play Natural Selection, a Half-life mod at the time.
Lol, the Orange box was my first purchase that installed Steam too. Technically should’ve done that with HL2, but I played it way after release, and sadly all I could afford at the time was the pirated version. But having sinked in so much dough through Steam afterwards, I doubt Valve would care.
I play casually and love supporting Indie games. PM me if you want to game sometime.
what’s that other site? I’m in the same boat and very curious what the retail value of my steam library would be
edit: nvm, it would help if I read the article :)
I have used a tool (not this one specifically) that could do this specifically for its other function of calculating the worth of all your steam trading cards/marketable game items, and to batch sell them when I have enough to get something with the cash.
I have so much bullshit in my inventory that’s not worth putting up at .02¢ each. Hook a brother up with a link
