    Not as much as you might first think as I generally wait for Steam sales. Well over a thousand bucks CAD though.

    None because I don’t buy games with unbroken DRM (including the need for corporate-run servers) and therefore can always get 'em all back via piracy.

    $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.

    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.

    …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

    FYI, you can get total spent by going to Help > Steam Support > My Account > Data Related to Your Steam Account > External Funds Used.
