Another slow news day, huh?
Looked at the article, it’s even worse. Another great job, making a dumb article from a reddit post.
Like the article in this post! Apparently Valve updating a game’s deck compatibility rating is “VaLvE hAs SeCrEt AgENdA!”
Well, yeah, that’s about right.
Yikes that’s an order of magnitude above me and I thought I was bad. Over what time period?
Just shy of 20 years. What’s worse is that in the last few years I’ve been buying almost exclusively from 3rd party sites like HumbleBundle, so it should be much higher. My steamDB page tells a very different story…
Wow, over that period of time that’s reasonable for an enthusiast I would think. Mine (about 1000 USD plus that again from key resellers) is since I started mainly playing PC in 2017. I think the average game cost meant that the spend hasn’t lowered, but the size of collection has ballooned. Hardware costs are probably the greater spend in PC gaming (maybe not for your collection!)
Mine just says “2018 Ford Focus.”
The article only mentions how to get the info from the desktop client, but it’s also available on the website. Here’s the direct link: https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/AccountSpend
Back in the day, I realized I had a problem with lootboxes thanks to this page.
about 5500$ in 20 years, so
edit: i’ve gotta remind myself to not fall asleep while commenting
first, i was shocked seeing the amount, then i calculated the daily costs, which were around 0,60€, and was relieved.
Wait, is packagespend included in totalspend? Or do you have to combine them to get the real total?
this is my question too, cause there’s just no way I spent this much money on steam, and I spend a LOT on steam
630 USD for me, but I almost never purchase full price games and a lot of my Steam library games was purchased on those non-shady game key stores.
Can’t sniff at a good Humble Bundle
Or any of the shops listed at Is There Any Deal.
True true. I’ve had similar experience with gg.deals as well, I just name HB for their loud rise about a decade ago.
By the way, for whatever reason, your link to ITAD is trying to point to a Lemmy community so it doesn’t work. Not on my end, at least. I’ve just run into the same problem when linking GGD so I think you have to include the https for it to work.
I am pleasantly surprised to find out that I’ve only spent $559 (356 USD) since joining Steam in 2016. Especially since I’m GOG only now.
This just in: hobby people have had for basically their entire life has big number!!
1230 USD in about 10 years of service. I’d be interested to know my total playtime on steam now to see how much per hour I am paying.
Looks like about 100 bucks a year, and more of that was in the early days of my account when I used to get sucked into sales (which also used to have those crazy huge discounts pop up for a game that lasted 8 hours) and before I had a giant backlog.
These days I almost never buy a game unless I want to play it immediately.
i mean 10 years for £549 isn’t all that bad considering
oh wait i was using the external tool, i found the one linked in this thread and it was £1526 still not bad
Only $738 for me, this thread is making me feel good about my spending habits (in this one particular area)
18+ years, $2339.25
