For me the answer is 847 USD over 14 years …
Total spend says 12k, not bad for 15 years considering how often I buy games for my friends lol
Like 20$ i guess.
Shut down or not it’s already lost.
$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.
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.
Yeah, I have spent a similar amount on video games on steam
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.
$0 because if steam deletes my library I’m going to pirate it back with 0 remorse
the money is already lost. if that happened i would pirate whatever i want to download again.
…erm
£12,898 according to SteamDB at today’s prices
In my defense I’ve had my account for 20 years and had humble bundle monthly/choice for like a third of that time, so the real number is hopefully not quite that
You can check your actual spend in the steam support --> Data about my account section.
Even that won’t be perfectly accurate, as it doesn’t include money spent on secondary stores for steam codes. So things like humble bundles aren’t included.
True, but it at least covers all of the purchases actually made on the platform.
Oh, I didn’t know that was a thing. Only $1,746 for me. Pretty sure my wife’s is much more, but she’s hidden her games.
$4,370AUD. Somehow both more and less than I expected. Over 11,200 hours of playtime over 18 years.
FYI, you can get total spent by going to Help > Steam Support > My Account > Data Related to Your Steam Account > External Funds Used.

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
Nothing I couldn’t pirate right back, given time.
696 games at $4142 over 22.5 years
€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.
50k was for the level though
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 😁
$1219.04 since 2011 (I didn’t bother with Steam until Skyrim released and I was living somewhere without a local game store)
