Steam money spent
Just came across an article showing how to see how much you've spent on Steam.
https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/how-to-c ... m-2488870/
Not sure if it's based on actual money spent or just your games list. I'm assuming actual spent so of you bought something elsewhere like Fanatical or something then it's probably not totaled.
I'm almost at 27K for my lifetime.
It definitely sounds like a lot but not sure if it's average or not.
Still... wow.. and I'll probably never play most of them let alone finish.

Re: Steam money spent
A little over 9k. To get a real picture I'd need to add in everything from green man, humble and fanatical. Pretty much all of my day one purchases are through green man. I imagine that's a lot but the purchase history info on green man is not very helpful.

Re: Steam money spent
$4926. Not nearly as much as I thought.
I rarely buy games at full price or even a small discount, so maybe triple that if I had bought them without a good sale.

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Re: Steam money spent
$6,814, although their description doesn't really make it clear if TotalSpend includes OldSpend.
That's in 19.5 years, or $349 per year, or just under a dollar per day. Not horrible for a hobby and interest that's kept me entertained for decades.

Assuming JeffV and Kraken will come along and make me look wasteful with all the money I've spent. :p

Re: Steam money spent
For as much as you've given games way, I'm impressed. I guess that Steam doesn't count how much we've paid to GMG, Fantatical, directly to vendors, etc... D'oh! I think I've spent a bit more than two grand.

Re: Steam money spent
I'm always way way behind so pretty much everything I buy is deeply discounted. And a chunk of that is the Steam Deck, I assume.Total Spend 3,194.02 USD
Old Spend 1,216.19 USD

Re: Steam money spent
There's also going to be a big difference between someone who plays a variety of games and someone who plays, say, Civilization for 5,000 hours. They're not really comparable.

I have 1900 games in my library (on the dot). Six pieces of software. I have to imagine 75% of licenses were acquired via bundles and Green Man.
I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg

Re: Steam money spent
Like everyone, my dollars spent would be a bit more if we were counting other sites.LordMortis wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2024 4:16 pmFor as much as you've given games way, I'm impressed.

As for all the games I've given away, some are games I have but a lot are from mystery bundles or humble bundle games I didn't want, or a couple times I forgot to pause my sub for the month (and stopped asking for refunds). As I've also gotten a far number of free games from folks on here, I am very happy to be able to give a fair number of games away too!

Not surprised. Despite this being my main hobby, I lag behind 'normal' people in all categories (play time and $$ spent being 'all').

Re: Steam money spent
Oh. I just realized that might also include $1100 for the Index. So my total on games may be a lot lower.
Other thoughts...
- I assumed Total include Old
- Thankfully I don't actually have much outside of Steam
I can live with it.

Re: Steam money spent
I have 116 games and have spent $155.30 in my lifetime. The only place I've bought games is through Steam (although I have claimed free ones elsewhere).

Stats
370 games
C$3200 over 16 years of Steam membership
Averaging ~ C$200/year for ~ 23 games/year (??? Considering I don't find a lot in recent years' sales, I must have really "bargain binned" during the early years!)
First game purchased: Torchlight (C$5.00)
Most recent game purchased: The Invincible (returned), OKAMI HD (C$14.11)
