    Another slow news day, huh?

    Looked at the article, it’s even worse. Another great job, making a dumb article from a reddit post.

    5380 USD here. About a quarter of that was my steam deck and my Index. About 250 USD a year on average spent on just games then 🤔

      Mine is about the same. Totally forgot it included by Steam Deck and my Index. Makes me feel a little better!

      But then when i look at the number of unplayed and unfinished games in my library I feel bad again.

      And then I feel worse remembering I also have a large GOG library which isn’t in that Steam spend and also lots of unplayed games…

    630 USD for me, but I almost never purchase full price games and a lot of my Steam library games was purchased on those non-shady game key stores.

          True true. I’ve had similar experience with gg.deals as well, I just name HB for their loud rise about a decade ago.

          By the way, for whatever reason, your link to ITAD is trying to point to a Lemmy community so it doesn’t work. Not on my end, at least. I’ve just run into the same problem when linking GGD so I think you have to include the https for it to work.

    Somehow not surprised I’m at just over 21K spent. That being said, that was from half a decade ago when I uh… Wasn’t as mature. Probably only 1K since then and strictly on games, not micro transactions.

      Yikes that’s an order of magnitude above me and I thought I was bad. Over what time period?

        Just shy of 20 years. What’s worse is that in the last few years I’ve been buying almost exclusively from 3rd party sites like HumbleBundle, so it should be much higher. My steamDB page tells a very different story…

          Wow, over that period of time that’s reasonable for an enthusiast I would think. Mine (about 1000 USD plus that again from key resellers) is since I started mainly playing PC in 2017. I think the average game cost meant that the spend hasn’t lowered, but the size of collection has ballooned. Hardware costs are probably the greater spend in PC gaming (maybe not for your collection!)

    about 5500$ in 20 years, so

    edit: i’ve gotta remind myself to not fall asleep while commenting

    first, i was shocked seeing the amount, then i calculated the daily costs, which were around 0,60€, and was relieved.

    4k in 8 years, my old steam account probably has about the same amount in 4 years depending on how they count buying and selling CSGO skins

    $6114 for me, 16 year old account. Not terrible I suppose, I got wrapped up in a couple f2p games at different points, and bought a Steam Deck.

    Back in the day, I realized I had a problem with lootboxes thanks to this page.
