For me the answer is 847 USD over 14 years …
…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
You can check your actual spend in the steam support --> Data about my account section.
Even that won’t be perfectly accurate, as it doesn’t include money spent on secondary stores for steam codes. So things like humble bundles aren’t included.
True, but it at least covers all of the purchases actually made on the platform.
Oh, I didn’t know that was a thing. Only $1,746 for me. Pretty sure my wife’s is much more, but she’s hidden her games.
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.
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.
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
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.
That’s jaw dropping
Hah, I have you beat by $200.
…Nice! Glad to know I’m not the only person sinking ridiculous money into my gaming habits. 😅
It’s cool, I’m sure they’ll bury me with my steam account.
More true than you know. Valve won’t allow you to transfer accounts to other people, so your account is legally dead when you are.
I am completely fine with that. I wouldn’t really expect anything different.
Nobody wants my steam account, they want and have their own, so its fine.
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…
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.
Many games on Steam are DRM free, included older Valve games.
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.
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.
Great link. I really appreciate the savings too. $3400 total spend $3200 savings Bought my first game in 2017. Tough part is I was on humble choice for 2 years so that’s all savings throwing off my numbers. But not bad for 9 years of fun.
696 games at $4142 over 22.5 years

Yeah, that’s about what we used to spend on board games
Yeah same, less than I thought : 1445, but I’m pretty sure that includes my OLED steam deck. Savings a little over 2k.
