For me the answer is 847 USD over 14 years …
Apparently $3135 is what I’ve spent on Steam games, according to Steam themselves. That isn’t what the current value is, but what I’ve actually spent.
$1219.04 since 2011 (I didn’t bother with Steam until Skyrim released and I was living somewhere without a local game store)
If they take Arc Raiders away from me, I’m going to lose my mind.
Steam reports my total spend to be $4,077.17 Steam Calculator reports $4,503 when bought at lowest prices and $7,250 in today’s prices. The calculator says I have 1,463 games, steam says 1,345 and my steam profile lists 1,349
$0.00.
I never buy games on Steam. If you buy it, and can’t keep it, you don’t own it.
I have Steam for a handful of free titles. The rest I buy from GOG.
That is wise. I wish they had more than the old games and the handful newer ones. Their moment will come when gaben signs off and steam will enshittify
Yeup, it’s probably an inevitability. I’m big on GOG and pirating, any sort of digital preservation.
I was a pirate since the 80s. I even financed my first sports car with warez-cds 😁 But steam does have its merits. Don’t worry about updates. As only the major games get updates by pir8s. But as steam’s DRM is trivial, it’s kinda easy-piracy. I already have like 50TB downloaded. If they ever go nuts I’ll download all my favourites and write a script to un-drm them.
And I would love for gog to have current games too. Would stop buying at steam, but 99% of what gog has to offer I already have on steam for many years
€100k more or less. I boycotted steam until left4dead2. Then I caved in. 50k was for the level though. And yes I know how stupid that is. The rest was games bought on steam. Then there might be more through other sources that provide steam-keys.
But it Wouldn’t be really lost. At least not the games I already downloaded. Steam’s DRM is trivial, so I would have at least those left.
Also, nothing to worry until gaben signs off. I predict it will then be turned into the usual us-american enshittification-craphole everything else is.
696 games at $4142 over 22.5 years
FYI, you can get total spent by going to Help > Steam Support > My Account > Data Related to Your Steam Account > External Funds Used.
according to steamDB 1000€ at lowest prices 1700€ at today’s prices over 16 years
kind of expected more
£600 in 21 years apparently and most of that is from the first 10 years too. It’s not my go-to store anymore.
I’ve had an account for nineteen years. I think some of the stuff I’ve got is irreplaceable due to its obscurity.
I have FTL and Into The Breach installed so even if the rest of my library vanishes I think I’ll be alright.
$1320.15 USD or like £988 GBP over the last 7 years damn-
That’s like £150 a year-
Bet most are unplayed too because I rack up hundreds of hours on a couple of games then forget about the rest oops. I gotta start going through my backlog.
Edit: according to https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/AccountSpend
According to Steam, ive spent $1440 dollars over 13 years.
Thing is, I have 930 games.
And while I pride myself on only buying during sales or other massive discounts, an average of $1.54 per game seems extremely low to me.
Nor does the fact that even when factoring in my supposed savings, i would have spend only 4.76 per game if not on sale especially since I have a fair number of AAA games on the account.
So im not sure steam is tracking me accurately.
$0 because if steam deletes my library I’m going to pirate it back with 0 remorse
