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!"
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.
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.
This just in: hobby people have had for basically their entire life has big number!!
Mine just says "2018 Ford Focus."
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.
18+ years, $2339.25
5380 USD here. About a quarter of that was my steam deck and my Index. About 250 USD a year on average spent on just games then 🤔
Mine is about the same. Totally forgot it included by Steam Deck and my Index. Makes me feel a little better!
But then when i look at the number of unplayed and unfinished games in my library I feel bad again.
And then I feel worse remembering I also have a large GOG library which isn't in that Steam spend and also lots of unplayed games...
i mean 10 years for £549 isn't all that bad considering
oh wait i was using the external tool, i found the one linked in this thread and it was £1526 still not bad
about 5500$ 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.
$6114 for me, 16 year old account. Not terrible I suppose, I got wrapped up in a couple f2p games at different points, and bought a Steam Deck.
3.3k over 19 years isn't too bad considering I bought an Index and Deck :/ If anything I need more games!
Only $738 for me, this thread is making me feel good about my spending habits (in this one particular area)
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.
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
4k in 8 years, my old steam account probably has about the same amount in 4 years depending on how they count buying and selling CSGO skins
9k USD, one steam deck in there, 20 year old account. Zero micrograms, all collecting games
Somehow not surprised I'm at just over 21K spent. That being said, that was from half a decade ago when I uh... Wasn't as mature. Probably only 1K since then and strictly on games, not micro transactions.
Gabe : Thank you for your service
A little over $1000 in the past 16ish years. I assume it’s not counting a Steam Deck in there.
