Board 8 > how much money have you spent on Steam

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't know what reasonable ranges for the poll is. Mine was like $2000, which I assume is pretty high.

edit: oops forgot to link to the feature

I put less than $100 but thinking about it, it's going to be in the $100-250 range as I forgot about my Humber Bundle Monthly which is basically the same thing as spending it on Steam

I was afraid I would have to really think about this to get an accurate estimate but 'more than 3000' is an easy choice. I regularly spent 200 on sales and 100 between sales.

@Mobilezoid you can discover the exact number here

---

$900.57
---

lower than I thought, just over 1000
---

$139.40
---

$0.00
---

My account has been active since 2006, which means I'm spending around $75 a year on Steam.

Although I haven't bought a game on Steam in over 7 months, let alone played one in over 2.
---

$657.49 seems a lot lower than I would have thought
---

$1,687.13

But that's over more than 10 years, so it's not really that much

$159.12

Sounds about right. I don't have very many games on Steam and about half of them were gifted to me.
---

A thousand more than me when my account is about to turn 13!

Obviously referencing Para
---

$19.56
---

Oh huh, >$200, nice.
---

186.73
---

TotalSpend $476.76
OldSpend $416.59

I don't know what these mean, but it's definitely between $250-$500.
---

$1,241 since 2011

it's higher than i expected, but i can rationalize this however i want
---

TotalSpend 2018-06-13 17:23:29.750 $4,567.46
OldSpend 2018-06-13 17:23:29.750 $2,291.08
---

2200 apparently
---

For the record, that is over 13 years of having a Steam account
---

I figured my 900 over 12 years wouldn't look so bad.
---

Just a smidge under 500... lower than I thought.
---

$1,266.75 since 2011
---

Just a little over 100

I still have more games than Ill ever play in a lifetime

Is there a way to check this through the downloaded client?

Help=>Steam Support=>Purchases=>View complete purchasing history

Problem with this method is it only gives you a list and not a total, so I had to copy-paste it into excel and do a sum. By that method, I get $847.70.

$618.32

A little over a thousand. However I dont play console games much so almost all my game purchases are from steam.

Thanks. Assuming totalspent includes oldspent (whatever that means) I've spent 236$. Which feels kind of surprising given I own 141 games, but nifty to know nonetheless.
---

just quickly tallied up the gifts I've sent, looks like about 17% of all my steam purchases were gifts

also, this includes steam funbux you've spent and earned from trading cards/pubg crates etc so the number is a bit higher than you've actually spent, if you take advantage of that stuff
---

70, not really a pc gamer though. Really makes me wonder how much I've spent on video games overall.
---

I voted less than $100

Turns out it's $114 whoops

If Steam bonus bucks from selling stuff on the market place contribute to that tally though it is actually less than $100
---

234 apparently, which is a little bit higher than I thought, but not too much considering how long I've had STEAM.
---

$129.50

From what I found here

https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/7/1696048786954903141/#c1696048426808545650

The page now has a description
"This is a sum of external funds that have been applied to your Steam account, either to purchase games on the Steam store or fund your Steam Wallet. This value is used to determine if an account is a "Limited User Account"."
First ammount is total spent money on Steam.
Second one is ammount spent until 2015 (time Steam's updated their backend)
Third one is for funds spent by Perfect World (For Chinese Steam users)

When in 2015, i don't know.

Edit
"oldspend is the amount of money you spend before April 2015. "

Also I voted wrong

TotalSpend - $652.82
OldSpend - $487.36

I've been basically a PC guy for 10 years now (Minus Nintendo and when my friends made me get a 360)
---

I finally got home and could check my Steam account

TotalSpend $2,904.12
OldSpend $1,680.26

Looks like I was off by 100 but in my defense this is the USD amount and I was counting in terms of Canadian dollars. This is still an average of like five bucks for every game I own.
---

$709
---

$686.34

oh so many games in my library I've never even touched
---

About $1200

A lot of this was during the TF2 hat craze. I actually got a return investment when I sold 3 hats for a total of $600.

Do you know how badly I wanted to land a knife in CSGO a few years ago or a stupid mini-skirt in PUBG last year? lol

Like $18-20? I think Trails in the Sky FC and Undertale are the only games I've bought. I don't game on my laptop much.
