$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

21 years, $4000, 1381 games, 29% avg completion rate. I’m not unhappy with that
21 years? a veteran 🫡
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.
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.
Yeah but I spent a bunch of them
The shop has a page where it tells you how many you've spent as well.
Not too bad!
This is not the tally that the article is talking about though
$1118 over 15+ years isn't too bad
$130 over 14 years. 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
I only buy physical so mines like 20$ 🤣
€15.77 on a 5 year old account
I own Terraria, Among Us, BTD6, Celeste and Gelatine, all bought on a discount
Outside of steam i own minecraft and the mobile version of BTD6 and have only once pirated a game that i actually played
Why play other games when you have modded minecraft and terraria
I literally can't see this information on mobile. It prompts me to sign in but when I input my info, email code and all, it prompts me to do it again. 🙄
This site puts my 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 only tf2 on steam
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
I have used a tool (not this one specifically) 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.

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
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.
You asked what package only means, and I found an answer.
Total is total, with old spend being the cutoff of old spending.
None of the numbers are guaranteed to add up to each other.
I don't know what's missing from the reply.
