.....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

the money is already lost. if that happened i would pirate whatever i want to download again.

$0 because if steam deletes my library I’m going to pirate it back with 0 remorse

Nothing I couldn't pirate right back, given time.

1,205 games. $6,516 as of today. 19 year account.

The depressing part is that of the 1,205 games, 986 (81.8%) are showing as unplayed.

Many steam games are DRM free and would work even if Steam shuts down. It's been like this at least since 2011 or so (that's when I discovered this, it could be earlier).

I guess the impact would depend on the types of game which one buys on Steam.

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.

According to SteamDB, $18,181 over 18.6 years. I'm sure that number will be much higher when the Steam sale is over, since it pulls data from current game prices.

@64bithero 4771 € according to SteamDB

Steam reports my total spend to be $4,114.82 Steam Calculator reports $4,518 when bought at lowest prices and $7,250 in today's prices. The calculator says I have 1,468 games, steam says 1,350 and my steam profile lists 1,354

7228.16 USD with 2026 prices but don't forget inflation over the years.

https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/AccountSpend this is a high security page so if you know how to open it in the steam client, that will be easier.

About US $3000 over 20 years. Not as much as I thought, to be honest. I wait for sales and try not to buy things unless I'm sure I'll play it.

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.

Total spend says 12k, not bad for 15 years considering how often I buy games for my friends lol

Aah, that's a bit hard to calculate due to Steam keys from bundles and other websites. Running some rough numbers it looks to be about $2600 CAD over 15 years, so... not too bad?

696 games at $4142 over 22.5 years

I've had an account for nineteen years. I think some of the stuff I've got is irreplaceable due to its obscurity.

Your Steam purchase history can be found under: https://store.steampowered.com/account/history/

I think purchases from other shops are not included (such as Humble Bundle), which makes sense. I have no total spent money calculated yet, so don't know.

I've had and been using steam since 2003... I really don't want to know what that number is. And I am also convinced someone is collecting this data point for nefarious purposes, because its 2026 and everything is being used for nefarious purposes. Including this comment.

I don't wanna set my library to public so SteamDB can figure it out, but it's over $1000 just going by what I can get to in my purchase history (which does not go all the way back to 2003 when I first made my account and had gotten HL2 and Ragdoll KungFu as my first two purchases on Steam). Not sure how accurate SteamDB is anyway, since it wouldn't necessarily know if what I bought was on sale when I bought it 🤷‍♂️

£600 in 21 years apparently and most of that is from the first 10 years too. It's not my go-to store anymore.

SteamDB puts my account at $2400 "at lowest prices", but I've definitely spent way more than that, and I own dark souls prepare to die, which a new key for that is up on cdk4g and g2a for $400-$500 alone.

I've been thinking about buying a bunch of hard drives and downloading my entire library and cracking it all and stashing the drives in long term storage just in case. That's been a thought for a very, very long time though...

Maybe $300 in total.

Idk probably about $250

$1219.04 since 2011 (I didn't bother with Steam until Skyrim released and I was living somewhere without a local game store)

Over 12 years, apparently only ~$1255.33USD over the past 12 years. Also realized I have a huge gap in my purchase history from 2015 to 2020. And it looks like the majority of my spending has been from 2020 onward.

Gonna have a presume at least a little over a quarter of my spending is due to me buying an officially refurbished LCD model deck when they were in stock a couple years ago. IDK actual price because it's lumped in with like 3-4 games I bought at the same time, roughing out to $403.something-cents before tax.

More than $6815.18, because my account is older than 2015 and purchases only go back to 2015.

But in reality, I will just reacquire the games if my library gets taken. Barnes & Noble isn't breaking into my home to take books out of my bookshelf, it is not unreasonable to demand digital products are treated the same. So I treat them the same, regardless of what moron politicians say.

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

$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.

Like... 5 bucks or so? For Hollow Knight. The rest of the games are either free, demos or gift.

The vast majority of my library is on GOG

€100k more or less. I boycotted steam until left4dead2. Then I caved in. 50k was for the level though. And yes I know how stupid that is. The rest was games bought on steam. Then there might be more through other sources that provide steam-keys.

But it Wouldn't be really lost. At least not the games I already downloaded. Steam's DRM is trivial, so I would have at least those left.

Also, nothing to worry until gaben signs off. I predict it will then be turned into the usual us-american enshittification-craphole everything else is.

Every insteresting game I "bought" on Steam is backed up (including a crack if required).

$1850 @ 21 years

Probably close to $1,500.

I have spent $7664 apparently.

SteamDB says an account value of $4017 and $6438 USD in today's prices, over the course of 21.4 years. I've transitioned my new purchases to GOG when possible.

$6,227 per SteamDB

2,900 CAD apparently

£1094, or £2055 today (15 year account).

Rookie numbers, looking at the other replies.

Probably over 10k CAD. Not sure how old the account Is but it's quite old.

$1320.15 USD or like £988 GBP over the last 7 years damn-

That's like £150 a year-

Bet most are unplayed too because I rack up hundreds of hours on a couple of games then forget about the rest oops. I gotta start going through my backlog.

Edit: according to https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/AccountSpend

I have FTL and Into The Breach installed so even if the rest of my library vanishes I think I'll be alright.

Hardly any of you actually buy games? Geez. I mean, congrats as I know I've spent far too much over the years, especially compared to the amount of time I actually spend gaming. So mainly I'm proud of your resilience.

US$7374 (AU$10721) over the last 10 years - but most of that in the last 5. Was a console gamer mostly before that so have more spent on console games over the years too.

Shut down or not it's already lost.

Apparently about $1000, which feels like a lot until I see some of the bananas-ass responses here.

While I have spent a large amount on games on steam, I have easily gotten my money's worth and would not regret it if it disappeared tomorrow. I would be disappointed of course, but would see it like an old console breaking and not feeling like replacing it.

This is mainly because I don't frequently replay games after I have had my fill of them.

Would probably just buy games I didn't already play on some other site like GoG.

I don't even have a steam account ...

If they take Arc Raiders away from me, I'm going to lose my mind.
