caut_R, do games w 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know

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

Humble Monthly is awesome.

$3643.42 USD

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.

AllHailTheSheep,

what’s that other site? I’m in the same boat and very curious what the retail value of my steam library would be

edit: nvm, it would help if I read the article :)

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.

zer0squar3d,

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.

46_and_2,

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.

zer0squar3d,

I play casually and love supporting Indie games. PM me if you want to game sometime.

I have used a tool (not this one specifically) that could do this specifically for its other function of calculating the worth of all your steam trading cards/marketable game items, and to batch sell them when I have enough to get something with the cash.

mudstickmcgee,

I have so much bullshit in my inventory that’s not worth putting up at .02¢ each. Hook a brother up with a link

I had to remember that I bought an Index and Steam Deck on Steam so that has definitely inflated the amount I’ve spent compared to the 3rd party valuation lol

pineapplelover,

Not bad

$1300 CAD on games over 15+ years with a current value of $8350.

Yeah, I’m cool with that.

$602.41 for 50 games in 18.4 years. Cost at today’s prices: $698. I’d say that’s a win.

2,095 hours. 72% of games played. Guess I need to get to work.

I wish I could track my pre-steam numbers. Id be interested to see how much time I put into Mechwarrior 3, or Rollercoaster Tycoon, or Unreal Tournament.

Surprised to see I’ve only spent 1200€ in 20 years. That is value for money IMO

PieMePlenty, do games w 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know

1300$ in 17 years. Around 1200 games. I think I probably spent more elsewhere and got steam keys. I still have a physical copy of portal 2, which was cheaper at release than on steam and had a key inside haha. Good times.

Seems some are confusing the third party estimator with the official page. This is the official page: help.steampowered.com/en/…/AccountSpend

Nalivai,

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

timestatic,

No, the article specifically mentions on how to get to this site from the steam client.

Kazumara,

Yeah but the article links the steamdb calulator twice and the actual steam page not at all. Freaking weird.

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.

Anarch157a,

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

Gibibit,
@Gibibit@lemmy.world avatar

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 😅

I’ve maybe sold an item or two for a few cents, nothing more

Well not how much you’ve spent, how much it values your collection. But what’s that number based on?

Please re-read the article. The values are on Steam itself, based on your interactions with it.

If your account is less than about 5 years old (and you live in the US) you can also just look at the points shop. Each Steam Point corresponds to one cent spent on Steam.

pineapplelover,

Yeah but I spent a bunch of them

Armok_the_bunny,

The shop has a page where it tells you how many you’ve spent as well.

I don’t feel bad. It’s a big number, but it was spread out over 20 years. I’m sure I’d be shocked at a lot of numbers amalgamated over 20 years.
