I literally can’t see this information on mobile. It prompts me to sign in but when I input my info, email code and all, it prompts me to do it again. 🙄
The official page shows the money you’ve spent, the estimator shows the current price of the games on your account, adjusted to everything. For me the difference is X4
“OldSpend” is the amount of external funds applied before Friday, April 17, 2015 18:00:00 UTC.
From Steam support regarding package only:
This row includes the portion of the account’s total funds spent that could not be transferred. For example, a hardware purchase, gifted game, or in-game item does not count toward Package Only Spend, but a game purchase for your own library would.
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.
Yea same, I don’t know what that last one is. So Total is the total, and Old is the part of the total that was applied before april 17th 2015. I think it makes sense. About 100$ a year, or roughly 8$ a month. I was afraid what I’d find tbh
Well not how much you’ve spent, how much it values your collection. But what’s that number based on? I’ve only bought one full price game in my entire life on Steam. And it was one of my biggest regrets so I’m not doing that again. So right there all the sale prices I’m paying aren’t being calculated right? Then there’s the case of free games and humble bundles, back when they were awesome. Hell probably a third to half of the games I have in my Steam account either came from Humble bundles or free giveaways.
SteamDB gives you a valuation based on full price. The article describes an entry on Steam’s Help page that gives you an accurate number of how much money you paid to Valve, including micro-transactions.
That’s very unlikely, I couldn’t have spent so much money on steam. I’ve bought like 5 games on steam and not even at full price. The rest comes from grey zone shops/HB
Edit: Just added up the numbers in my purchase history, it’s about 1/4 of the sum there
Maybe it also counts transactions from the Steam Market? I also found my TotalSpend hard to believe, but it’s also not like I’ve traded hundreds of dollars worth of items in the market.
The description of the support page notes that these values are used to determine some sort of limited user account status. It might not be intended to keep an accurate tally. I wouldn’t be surprised if these values are only available due to gdpr and accuracy of the description was not a priority when they set it up. I’m implying that the employee who wrote the description might not have understood the value precisely enough.
But who knows. I could just be huffing copium about my game expenses 😅
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 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‘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
