For me the answer is 847 USD over 14 years …
…erm
£12,898 according to SteamDB at today’s prices
In my defense I’ve had my account for 20 years and had humble bundle monthly/choice for like a third of that time, so the real number is hopefully not quite that
You can check your actual spend in the steam support --> Data about my account section.
Even that won’t be perfectly accurate, as it doesn’t include money spent on secondary stores for steam codes. So things like humble bundles aren’t included.
True, but it at least covers all of the purchases actually made on the platform.
Oh, I didn’t know that was a thing. Only $1,746 for me. Pretty sure my wife’s is much more, but she’s hidden her games.
$4,370AUD. Somehow both more and less than I expected. Over 11,200 hours of playtime over 18 years.
the money is already lost. if that happened i would pirate whatever i want to download again.
$0 because if steam deletes my library I’m going to pirate it back with 0 remorse
1,205 games. $6,516 as of today. 19 year account.
The depressing part is that of the 1,205 games, 986 (81.8%) are showing as unplayed.
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.
SteamDB puts my account at $2400 “at lowest prices”, but I’ve definitely spent way more than that, and I own dark souls prepare to die, which a new key for that is up on cdk4g and g2a for $400-$500 alone.
I’ve been thinking about buying a bunch of hard drives and downloading my entire library and cracking it all and stashing the drives in long term storage just in case. That’s been a thought for a very, very long time though…
According to SteamDB, $18,181 over 18.6 years. I’m sure that number will be much higher when the Steam sale is over, since it pulls data from current game prices.
That’s jaw dropping
Hah, I have you beat by $200.
…Nice! Glad to know I’m not the only person sinking ridiculous money into my gaming habits. 😅
It’s cool, I’m sure they’ll bury me with my steam account.
More true than you know. Valve won’t allow you to transfer accounts to other people, so your account is legally dead when you are.
About US $3000 over 20 years. Not as much as I thought, to be honest. I wait for sales and try not to buy things unless I’m sure I’ll play it.
Aah, that’s a bit hard to calculate due to Steam keys from bundles and other websites. Running some rough numbers it looks to be about $2600 CAD over 15 years, so… not too bad?
Your Steam purchase history can be found under: https://store.steampowered.com/account/history/
I think purchases from other shops are not included (such as Humble Bundle), which makes sense. I have no total spent money calculated yet, so don’t know.
Every insteresting game I “bought” on Steam is backed up (including a crack if required).
696 games at $4142 over 22.5 years
Idk probably about $250
More than $6815.18, because my account is older than 2015 and purchases only go back to 2015.
But in reality, I will just reacquire the games if my library gets taken. Barnes & Noble isn’t breaking into my home to take books out of my bookshelf, it is not unreasonable to demand digital products are treated the same. So I treat them the same, regardless of what moron politicians say.
I keep a copy of the generic steam crack on my computer. It’s very well tested. So as long as I had the files on my computer I would only lost access to the very few games I have that use a different drm.
Many games on Steam are DRM free, included older Valve games.
