I never buy games on Steam. If you buy it, and can't keep it, you don't own it.
I have Steam for a handful of free titles. The rest I buy from GOG.
That is wise. I wish they had more than the old games and the handful newer ones. Their moment will come when gaben signs off and steam will enshittify
100k I guess. I boycotted steam until left4dead2. Then I caved in.
But it Wouldn't be really lost. At least not the games I already downloaded. Steam's DRM is trivial, so I would have at least those left.
Also, nothing to worry until gaben signs off. I predict it will then be turned into the usual us-american enshittification-craphole everything else is.
Steam reports my total spend to be $4,077.17 Steam Calculator reports $4,503 when bought at lowest prices and $7,250 in today's prices. The calculator says I have 1,463 games, steam says 1,345 and my steam profile lists 1,349
696 games at $4142 over 22.5 years
according to steamDB 1000€ at lowest prices 1700€ at today's prices over 16 years
kind of expected more
According to Steam, ive spent $1440 dollars over 13 years.
Thing is, I have 930 games.
And while I pride myself on only buying during sales or other massive discounts, an average of $1.54 per game seems extremely low to me.
Nor does the fact that even when factoring in my supposed savings, i would have spend only 4.76 per game if not on sale especially since I have a fair number of AAA games on the account.
So im not sure steam is tracking me accurately.
I have FTL and Into The Breach installed so even if the rest of my library vanishes I think I'll be alright.
$1320.15 USD or like £988 GBP over the last 7 years damn-
That's like £150 a year-
Bet most are unplayed too because I rack up hundreds of hours on a couple of games then forget about the rest oops. I gotta start going through my backlog.
Edit: according to https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/AccountSpend
I've had an account for nineteen years. I think some of the stuff I've got is irreplaceable due to its obscurity.
FYI, you can get total spent by going to Help > Steam Support > My Account > Data Related to Your Steam Account > External Funds Used.
I don't even have a steam account ...
Is this thread really for you then?
I don't see why not.
Because you don't have a Steam account.
Right, so I'd lost $0, which is valid answer to the question being asked.
Wow that's impressive
This has Ken M energy and I love it.
No, it has typical Lemmy "I'm too good for x, y, z" energy.
There could be a thread "Girls, why do.you do this?" and some dude will show up "I don't do this because I'm a guy."
The internet is like 80% people saying shit for no good reason. Contrarians are the dumbest motherfuckers that confuse contrarianism with critical thinking and developing actual opinions.
I think we've found one of those mythical people that reply to questions people ask online with "I don't know".
$0 because if steam deletes my library I’m going to pirate it back with 0 remorse
10-20$
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.
Over 12 years, apparently only ~$1255.33USD over the past 12 years. Also realized I have a huge gap in my purchase history from 2015 to 2020. And it looks like the majority of my spending has been from 2020 onward.
Gonna have a presume at least a little over a quarter of my spending is due to me buying an officially refurbished LCD model deck when they were in stock a couple years ago. IDK actual price because it's lumped in with like 3-4 games I bought at the same time, roughing out to $403.something-cents before tax.
Less than I thought! About 1,900, can't tell if that's USD or EUR I've used both. Saved over 3,000, supposedly. For over 17 years, 112 bucks a year for a hobby shared nearly the entire time between 2 - later 3 people - that's pretty good I'd say. Not a lot of hobbies come in that cheap.
Yeah, that's about what we used to spend on board games

the money is already lost. if that happened i would pirate whatever i want to download again.
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...
.....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

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.
Probably over 10k CAD. Not sure how old the account Is but it's quite old.
Nothing I couldn't pirate right back, given time.
