€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

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.

  1. 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

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

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

Damn, $2487.15 over 5 years. I wonder if it factors in games i got externally by guesstimating the price though

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's about external funds added to your steam account, so it should only be actual money, and not guessing the price of games.

This is the perfect counterpoint to the idea that knowledge can't harm you.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

I just checked and i thought it would be more.

But I do not know and will never check the amount of time spent playing.

6 years with just over $300 with 80% played. I was expecting worse after seeing the 5 figure numbers in the comments. Today's price is over $900 tho, patient gamer gang.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

£1,585.73

Not bad for 16 years I guess.

[–] MagicalAbyss@lemm.ee 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

$187 / 2 years

Im happy with this, especially since all the games I have bought, I actually really like. So I have all the bethesda game studio games (literally), ESO, Doom, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, Baldurs Gate, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, Batman Arkham Night, Injustice2, and No Man's Sky (the only one I regret buying).

I think all these games are worth those $187. I have only bought a copy of Skyrim outside of steam (GOG) otherwise it's all on steam.

I'm even hiding this post after I submit this comment, so I don't have to be reminded again that such a page exists.
