How much have you spent on Steam?

About 2000$, got my account at Half-Life 2 release but not sure when I started using the store.
Ah, fuck it. Since 2004:
Hopefully this is just Steam going nutters because of the games I've gotten through bundles.

Around 4000$ - jeez. I should not have looked at that.
But in the grand scheme of things, that's like over 10 years of purchases so I guess it's not that bad.

$8,954 since 2003.
EDIT:
Oh, okay. $5,225 TotalSpend then.
I don't think I actually bought anything digitally on Steam until 2007, though. I just had the account that early because it was required to continue playing Counter-Strike and other Half-Life mods after the WON servers were shut off. I didn't even buy Half-Life 2 on Steam, I just used it to activate the retail CDs.

TotalSpend
$3,878.78
OldSpend
$2,558.04
OldSpend sounds about right but TotalSpend must be fucked up. I haven't really bought that many new games on Steam post-2015. Maybe bundles/sales aren't being accounted for?

Over 11k since 2005 so... averaging about 785 per year. Slowed down a lot on the past 3 years though probanly spe t less than half that average since. But man i was spenodong a lot nefore.
$2,481 directly on Steam, but I've bought a lot on 3rd party sites as well. According to SteamDB, my actual total is somewhere between $3600 and $13,000 based on everything in my library and lowest recorded vs current full price. I would say my true spend is probably around $4,000 given that I do tend to not buy stuff until it' hits lowest recorded, and the bulk of my 1,000+ game library was gotten at around $5/game.
$1,400.97 for me.
Actually less than I thought.
Edit: This is since I made my account around 2013.

A couple of wasted Euros, when I bought both Amnesia games, which I didn't even get to run properly on my system.
$499
huh, that's less than I thought. I bet it goes up a hundred or so if we count external keys though.

$6122 (Sales prices) — $23198 (Total prices)
I've never purchased a game at full price and a lot of games I have gotten per bundles or for free/gifts.
So likely I would say....going by how much I paid for games on Steam since I started buying them...
I would say the figure is closer to $2,000 to $3,000 (this includes combination of games bought on Steam and off third parties like Humble Bundle, GMG, Fanatical, IndieGala, GamersGate, etc)
I've probably spent somewhere around that much for console/portable gaming as well in the same time frame if not more.
But between consoles/portables which I have been buying games for 25+ years I bought/received around 600 or so console/portable games compared to the last 8 years I've gotten into PC gaming I bought/received around 2,000+ games.
25+ years = 600+ console/portable games
8 years = 2,000+ PC games

about approx ~$8,000 usd. Though I've had Steam since beta 2003. So averaged to like $500 a year?
Only about $1200, which surprises me given the size of my library and backlog on Steam. Apparently my first purchase was Half-Life 1: Source in 2008, but I think my account is about a year older than that since I had the Orange Box I guess a number of the smaller things in there I actually got through Humble Bundle though.
I'm going off...https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/AccountSpend which sounds about accurate. Considering how i've been gaming on PC for eight years now it's about $150 a year, which is honestly a pretty okay amount in my opinion.
$8,682.86 on 2082 games. 17% average completion rate. Account Value $6229 — $21591 Average game price $11.52. 8,341 hours played.
March 2010 was this account. Had one with Half-Life originally, but gave it to my dad.
Edit: I've only purchased 14 games in 2019. Slowed down quite a bit. Had an issue around 2011-2012 with buying games.

Er, $2,366.00 apparently.
I've had my account since half life 2 came out. So that is about $150 per year. But I probably spent 80% of it since 2010. So its more like $250 per year. When I annualise it, it doesn't seem that bad.
I dont want to think about how much I've spent on hardware to play this $2,366 worth of software. Many multiples of that.
Kinda puts it into perspective.

$7,804 since 2005. Not too bad, seems about in line with other Steam users who've had their account as long.
