21 years, $4000, 1381 games, 29% avg completion rate. I’m not unhappy with that
'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know

Not bad, under $9000! I thought for sure it would be over 10k. I’m at 2k games, and I almost always buy on sale.

Oh I checked. If was so much

If your account is less than about 5 years old (and you live in the US) you can also just look at the points shop. Each Steam Point corresponds to one cent spent on Steam.
pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 month ago
Yeah but I spent a bunch of them
Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The shop has a page where it tells you how many you’ve spent as well.

$1118 over 15+ years isn’t too bad
tatann@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Less than 1000€ for dozens of games I’ve played, I think the average price I payed is 15€, so I don’t feel robbed
I mostly buy on GOG whenever possible though, even if it means I have to wait a year or two

TotalSpend 1433$ OldSpend 434$
Not sure if I should add the two ? or is the second one included in the first one ? Anyway that’s not too bad for a 14yo account
turmacar@lemmy.world 1 month ago
“OldSpend” is the amount of external funds applied before Friday, April 17, 2015 18:00:00 UTC.
Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 month ago
Yea same, I don’t know what that last one is. So Total is the total, and Old is the part of the total that was applied before april 17th 2015. I think it makes sense. About 100$ a year, or roughly 8$ a month. I was afraid what I’d find tbh
ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Does total include the Old Spend?..and what is Package Only? None of these numbers seem to add up to each other. Or are they also separate.
Also what lazy dev just posted the query column names instead of decoding them for the end user
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 months ago
From the page with the values:
“OldSpend” is the amount of external funds applied before Friday, April 17, 2015 18:00:00 UTC.
From Steam support regarding package only:
This row includes the portion of the account’s total funds spent that could not be transferred. For example, a hardware purchase, gifted game, or in-game item does not count toward Package Only Spend, but a game purchase for your own library would.

Yes, I read that. It did not clarify what I was asking.

This is the perfect counterpoint to the idea that knowledge can’t harm you.
Jestzer@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This site puts the lowest cost estimate at ~$400 USD. Out of curiosity, I then went through my purchase history and added everything up, which came out to ~$1,000 USD. The average was ~$14 and the median was ~$10.

I have used a tool that could do this specifically for its other function of calculating the worth of all your steam trading cards/marketable game items, and to batch sell them when I have enough to get something with the cash.

I have so much bullshit in my inventory that’s not worth putting up at .02¢ each. Hook a brother up with a link
mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
I just checked and i thought it would be more.
But I do not know and will never check the amount of time spent playing.
IndieSpren@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
6 years with just over $300 with 80% played. I was expecting worse after seeing the 5 figure numbers in the comments.
MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Damn, $2487.15 over 5 years. I wonder if it factors in games i got externally by guesstimating the price though
slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s about external funds added to your steam account, so it should only be actual money, and not guessing the price of games.
MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 month ago
That’s good too know, though, now i wish i had an accurate measurement of how much money i’ve spent across external sites too

I’m even hiding this post after I submit this comment, so I don’t have to be reminded again that such a page exists.

Not bad
MagicalAbyss@lemm.ee 2 months ago
$187 / 2 years
Im happy with this, especially since all the games I have bought, I actually really like. So I have all the bethesda game studio games (literally), ESO, Doom, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, Baldurs Gate, Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, Batman Arkham Night, Injustice2, and No Man’s Sky (the one I regret buying).
I think all these games are worth those $187. I have only bought a copy of Skyrim outside of steam (GOG) otherwise it’s all on steam.

Not bad for 16 years I guess.
AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
$1,100 over 15 years. I’m not a gamer, and I’m well aware I don’t own these games, so I’m glad it’s low
dbtng@eviltoast.org 2 months ago
Meh. You were late to the party. Musta got Steam to play Half Life Episode 1 or Portal.
AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Yeah it was portal! Good guess
