For me the answer is 847 USD over 14 years …

    I’ve had and been using steam since 2003… I really don’t want to know what that number is. And I am also convinced someone is collecting this data point for nefarious purposes, because its 2026 and everything is being used for nefarious purposes. Including this comment.

    None because I don’t buy games with unbroken DRM (including the need for corporate-run servers) and therefore can always get 'em all back via piracy.

    $2908.44

    That is what steam reports as total external funds added.

    That includes hardware purchases (OG Steam Controller, Steam Link, and Steam Deck with the new price), and it doesn’t count the games bought on Humble Bundle.

    I keep a copy of the generic steam crack on my computer. It’s very well tested. So as long as I had the files on my computer I would only lost access to the very few games I have that use a different drm.

    Apparently $3135 is what I’ve spent on Steam games, according to Steam themselves. That isn’t what the current value is, but what I’ve actually spent.

    $1219.04 since 2011 (I didn’t bother with Steam until Skyrim released and I was living somewhere without a local game store)

    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

    €100k more or less. I boycotted steam until left4dead2. Then I caved in. 50k was for the level though. And yes I know how stupid that is. The rest was games bought on steam. Then there might be more through other sources that provide steam-keys.

    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.

      I don’t understand

      Also how big is your steam library if you don’t mind me asking? I’m not up on my conversion rates but €100k is in the realm of house money

        I don’t understand

        It’s just your steam-level. Which you can basically push with money or time (a bit at least). It has no real inherent benefits beyond a certain level. It’s to show off basically. For me it was the thrill of finding the most efficient automated method to gain it as fast as possible. A silly idea in hindsight, but I can get pretty obsessive 😑

        Also how big is your steam library

        Too big. And while it might sound much, it’s over a course of over a decade. And I buy whatever comes out and is adjacent to my likings. So my backlog is too vast to manage in this lifetime. Nowadays I buy much less. Either to support indie devs or those I REALLY wanna play.

        And where I live, this money wouldn’t buy you a house. Not even an apartment. Except you don’t mind burned down houses or so 😁

      I get the sentiment but not owning it does not equal not enjoying it. You never play any games with friends that only come out on steam? For some single player games I can understand waiting until they release on GOG but many (or like, most) never do.

      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

    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.
