Another slow news day, huh?
Looked at the article, it’s even worse. Another great job, making a dumb article from a reddit post.
Like the article in this post! Apparently Valve updating a game’s deck compatibility rating is “VaLvE hAs SeCrEt AgENdA!”
Well, yeah, that’s about right.
Yikes that’s an order of magnitude above me and I thought I was bad. Over what time period?
Just shy of 20 years. What’s worse is that in the last few years I’ve been buying almost exclusively from 3rd party sites like HumbleBundle, so it should be much higher. My steamDB page tells a very different story…
Wow, over that period of time that’s reasonable for an enthusiast I would think. Mine (about 1000 USD plus that again from key resellers) is since I started mainly playing PC in 2017. I think the average game cost meant that the spend hasn’t lowered, but the size of collection has ballooned. Hardware costs are probably the greater spend in PC gaming (maybe not for your collection!)
630 USD for me, but I almost never purchase full price games and a lot of my Steam library games was purchased on those non-shady game key stores.
Can’t sniff at a good Humble Bundle
The article only mentions how to get the info from the desktop client, but it’s also available on the website. Here’s the direct link: https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/AccountSpend
This just in: hobby people have had for basically their entire life has big number!!
Back in the day, I realized I had a problem with lootboxes thanks to this page.
Looks like about 100 bucks a year, and more of that was in the early days of my account when I used to get sucked into sales (which also used to have those crazy huge discounts pop up for a game that lasted 8 hours) and before I had a giant backlog.
These days I almost never buy a game unless I want to play it immediately.
5380 USD here. About a quarter of that was my steam deck and my Index. About 250 USD a year on average spent on just games then 🤔
Mine is about the same. Totally forgot it included by Steam Deck and my Index. Makes me feel a little better!
But then when i look at the number of unplayed and unfinished games in my library I feel bad again.
And then I feel worse remembering I also have a large GOG library which isn’t in that Steam spend and also lots of unplayed games…
1230 USD in about 10 years of service. I’d be interested to know my total playtime on steam now to see how much per hour I am paying.
about 5500$ in 20 years, so
edit: i’ve gotta remind myself to not fall asleep while commenting
first, i was shocked seeing the amount, then i calculated the daily costs, which were around 0,60€, and was relieved.
18+ years, $2339.25
$6114 for me, 16 year old account. Not terrible I suppose, I got wrapped up in a couple f2p games at different points, and bought a Steam Deck.
Somehow not surprised I’m at just over 21K spent. That being said, that was from half a decade ago when I uh… Wasn’t as mature. Probably only 1K since then and strictly on games, not micro transactions.
9k USD, one steam deck in there, 20 year old account. Zero micrograms, all collecting games
4k in 8 years, my old steam account probably has about the same amount in 4 years depending on how they count buying and selling CSGO skins
