This is not the tally that the article is talking about though

“May” nothing, I don’t.

21 years on Steam was terrifying to see.

Razzazzika,

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.

$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.

Oh, it’s not too bad. Rounds up to $60 a year and averages out to about $15 per game.

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.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Damn, $2487.15 over 5 years. I wonder if it factors in games i got externally by guesstimating the price though

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

It’s about external funds added to your steam account, so it should only be actual money, and not guessing the price of games.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

That’s good too know, though, now i wish i had an accurate measurement of how much money i’ve spent across external sites too

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

21 years, $4000, 1381 games, 29% avg completion rate. I’m not unhappy with that

21 years? a veteran 🫡

@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

Oh damn. I’ve spent $30,359.76 on Steam in the 17 years I’ve had an account. And I just passed 4,000 games in my Steam library within the last month. That checks out.

unexposedhazard,

What is wrong with you? Have you even played 10% of those games?

cobysev,
@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

I really like video games. And I’m retired young(ish), so I have all the time in the world to game now.

Plus, I have a (relatively new) blog dedicated to introducing games to people, which encourages me to play through a variety of games in my library. It’s basically just archiving my “Random Screenshots of my Games” posts in !games.

And according to the SteamDB, I’ve played 26% of my games. The last time I checked, it was at 38%, but that was maybe 2,000 games ago. I need to keep working through my library!

unexposedhazard,

Damn, 26% is not too shabby. Thats just a lot of money for most people, but i guess other people buy figurines that they never do anything with at all, so it could be worse i guess. Well i hope you enjoy playing them :)

If you somehow dont have Metro 2033 yet, you can still add it to your library for free today.

cobysev,

Video games and collecting Sonic the Hedgehog comics are my two expensive hobbies; I don’t spend money on much else besides essentials (food, shelter), so I can afford to splurge a bit on these hobbies. I am not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but the US military took really good care of me for 20 years and continues to provide for me in retirement, so I’m able to live a pretty relaxed life now.

If you somehow dont have Metro 2033 yet, you can still add it to your library for free today.

I saw that it was free for 48 hours! I already have the whole Metro franchise, but I’ve informed my gaming friends about the deal this morning. Thanks for spreading the news!

One caveat to my Steam library is that I always try to wait for deals before I buy; I rarely buy anything at full price. I don’t want to think about how much money I might’ve spent if I bought everything at full price! 😱

unexposedhazard,

Sounds like fun hobbies :) Money is worthless after you die so might aswell spend it on something you enjoy i guess.

zer0squar3d,

Nice. Lucky! i would have spend more also if it wasnt for my pesky family /s

MyFriendGodzilla, 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

$7000… not bad for 20 years or whatever its been since steam started. Sure as hell drunk more than 7k’s worth of alcohol over that time lol

Your profile page will say your account birthday. Float your mouse over “Years of Service”.

20 years for me. 2004… Interesting times then and still interesting times now lol.

alanjaow, do games w American Truck Simulator is adding a road trip mode where you drive different vehicles, 'say, a powerful pickup or even a sports car'

I was disappointed when I saw that there are few roads in the game (my expectations were far too high). I was hoping for, idk, 70% of roads? Really, some sort of driving game using google maps data would be pretty awesome, if a nightmare to process all the images. Hmm, data storage would be an issue too… streaming would be too slow (I think).

I wouldn’t be to sure if Microsoft is working on something like this. What they did with Flight Simulator was pretty spectacular…

REDACTED,

Seriously, I’ve been dreaming about world-scale videogame (world generates as you explore based on every useful satellite data we have) where you can just drive around.

Flight simulator comes close, but it’s flying.

pineapplelover,

And I believe it pulls the information real time from Microsoft servers

EarMaster,
@EarMaster@lemmy.world avatar

It does, but mostly because we’re talking about an enormous amount of data. The number being advertised is 2 Petabyte…

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

AndyMFK, 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

$1,100 over 15 years. I’m not a gamer, and I’m well aware I don’t own these games, so I’m glad it’s low

dbtng, (edited )
@dbtng@eviltoast.org avatar

Meh. You were late to the party. Musta got Steam to play Half Life Episode Two or Portal.

AndyMFK,

Yeah it was portal! Good guess

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

Yeah, I’m cool with that.
