    $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.

      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.

        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.

          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.

      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 :)

    If you dig you can find this on Amazon. I’ve been buying from Amazon since 1995 and the last time I looked my purchases were somewhere around $260,000. And that was before covid.

      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.

    I did pretty good. So far 530 games for $1867

    That’s about $3.50 per game

    I often leave games in my wishlist until they are 70-80% off

      The official page shows the money you’ve spent, the estimator shows the current price of the games on your account, adjusted to everything. For me the difference is X4

    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

    530 dollars for 251 games in almost 22 years of service. Steam only logged about 210 hours in those years, which is bullshit. There’s almost no time recorded in Half-life, Day of defeat or Counterstrike and those are the games I played the most. I also got most games through Humblebundle, where I spent 270 dollars since June 2012. But as I haven’t been playing much on PC ever since the PS3 came out, the real money went to Sony and I don’t even want to know.

    I don’t feel bad. It’s a big number, but it was spread out over 20 years. I’m sure I’d be shocked at a lot of numbers amalgamated over 20 years.

    3465 € in 21 years at today’s prices for 287 games. Given that I mostly buy at historical lows the estimate of 1033 € that can be found on the same SteamDB page applies to me.

    3,6 € per game, 49 € per year.

    Given the tears, the emotions and the joy I got repeatedly from all those (mostly indie) titles, it’s well worth it. Praised be GabeN and all of Valve!

    $602.41 for 50 games in 18.4 years. Cost at today’s prices: $698. I’d say that’s a win.

    2,095 hours. 72% of games played. Guess I need to get to work.

    I wish I could track my pre-steam numbers. Id be interested to see how much time I put into Mechwarrior 3, or Rollercoaster Tycoon, or Unreal Tournament.
