[El Muerto]

I buy the majority of my games outside steam.

[MrTroubleMaker]

We had a thread like this a year or two ago, it was depressing on how much I've spent. Not going to look at it again knowing its even higher.

 

[Aenima]

Spent 358 USD

Thats more than i tought i had spent as i rarelly buy anything on steam aside from the deep discount old game or indy game.

 

[acm2000]

Total Games: 255
Total Spend: $31.36

 

[OverHeat]

OverHeat spent 3,633 hours playing 75% of their games.

Almost all the games I have on Steam were purchased on sale for super cheap so I'm guessing less than $2k.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

barely under 1,000 -- interesting. I've had the account for roughly a couple decades but rarely buy anything that isn't on deep sale.



oh yeah, good point. With everything taken into account that I purchased through other sites, the total would be much higher.

Yeah it's almost 2 decades for me but I rarely buy full price games, 100% sure the games I bought full price there were less than 10. Rest are all sales usually big discount ones.

I spend less in Blizzard overall but I should be pass the 2k more if I combine my Steam and Blizzard spending.

I thought I was around the $10k mark but turns out Steam was even better than I thought at extracting money. Looked at some more stats just for fun. Even though my account is over 20 years old I didn't really start purchasing until 2011 (not long after I finally stopped playing WoW as a second job) so I'm averaging giving Valve over $1k every year.

Good thing I don't play gacha games on Steam or that'd be even more embarrassing.

 

[lifa-cobex]

Yeaaaa....I'n not checking that shit.
I've had an account since HL2 released and it was mandatory to have one.

 

[simpatico]

$5,200 and I started my account with a physical copy of HL2. No hardware or microtransactions. I'm wondering if that's how some of these guys are getting such high scores. I buy damn near every big game.

 

[BlackTron]

The only power I have is giving gold

 

[Icymanipulator]

Not sure exactly but under $500 for sure.

 

[poppabk]

Not too bad for 17 years.

 

[Mithos]

Just like others have stated, I pick up games from outside Steam if it's cheaper there (and it often is).

 

[Nocty]

woops.. I just created a similar thread. Well here is mine;

 

[Catphish]

$5368.95 over 20 years.

That's $268.45 per year.

 

[Denton]

Dumb question but what is PackageOnlySpend ? DLC or something?

 

[Plague Doctor]

But seriously, it's a lot. Mostly things on sale. Backlog is massive.

 

[Holammer]

This also shows my shameful backlog.

 

[Fahdis]

$919 in 12 years for 1000+ games. I buy on deep discounts only. I'll wait years to buy what I want. Consoles were so much more expensive.

 

[Kataploom]

[Dorago]

Step 1 Help, where is Help found?

Support on main page.

OP might be translating from another language.

 

[Dorago]

$2317.13

"I've got a whale of a tale to tell ye lads."

I bring greata shame on my famiry.

Then again, my relatives spend that per quarter on Home Shopping etc so I have it "under control."

 

[Idleyes]

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Maybe $50 if that.

 

[NeonDelta]

2504.73

That's a lot more than I expected. Only really been buying stuff on steam since 2020, before that I had a few humble bundles and the odd game I used to buy on my old laptops/pc from 2009 to 2015.

 

[Zacfoldor]

A couple grand, and probably close to that on WoW subs/mtx on battle.net, but that pales in comparison to my console hobby....and I'm not proud of that but I am happy to vote with my wallet when I can.

If you want a say in gaming you either need to work in the industry or be a Playstation/Ninty whale.

 

[falling into hell]

only over 1300 with Steam Deck included no regrets

 

[ReBurn]

Most of my spend is on key sites. I only have $570-ish spent on 227 games.

 

[Buggy Loop]

 

[OverHeat]

Not rich but wealthy

 

[adamsapple]

Maybe $20. I bought Yakuza Zero when it went on sale some years ago.

 

[Sgt. Pinback]

Behold, the power of poor impulse control.

 

[Paltheos]

Overall stats are interesting. I'm in the 84th percentile of spenders on GAF (probably: 5.9k is close to the top of the group) per the poll as of the time of this posting, but spending per user increases sharply after the next group. There's just nobody in the 7k-9k range, yet 13% of GAF spends more than $9k.

 

[rkofan87]

Im over 5000 but got 669 games

dam you did not wait for sales did you lol

 

[rkofan87]

1000$ to 2000$ for me hoping the the next x box gets full steam support hooking io the tv dock is a pain in the ass

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

post removed to maintain some semblance of dignity...jfc "muh life CHOICES"

 

[JayK47]

Guess I am a cheap fuck compared to many of you. I have been on Steam since it started and I am just under $5,700 USD. Still pretty crazy. Per year that is more than I thought. I do tend to spend at least $100 during one of the major sales around Christmas. I may then grab some games throughout the year. I rarely pre-order, maybe once per year.

Does that include gift cards?

 

[EverydayBeast]

Sales make video game collecting manageable.

Same here, I only ever bought games when they are either deep deep sale or got gifted vouchers / codes.

It's hard to believe that I managed a steam library of 350 games and only spent $2.5k
