How Much Have You Spent on Steam?

Submitted 6 months, 2 weeks ago by

How to figure it out 

  1. Open Steam and go to the Help menu
  2. Under Help click on Steam Support
  3. Click on My Account
  4. Click on Data Related to Your Steam Account
  5. Click on External Funds Used

This won't include money spent outside of Steam for keys like through Humble Bundle or Kickstarters. Also if you have "OldSpend" its from before 2015 when Steam did some sort of change to their system.

    Honestly, I thought it would be more but this is also a bit extreme. I know this doesn't include the couple thousand I almost certainly have spent on Path of Exile cosmetics over the years, since I buy that currency directly from Grinding Gear Games.

    16 Years of Service means on average I spend $415 a year on Steam, or about $34 a month. That really puts it into perspective - gaming as a hobby is hella cheap!

    Been on Steam since 2012, so that goes to about 135 USD per year. Of course, it doesn't include spending in other places (though I'm sure Steam is more than all of those combined), so it's not that much.

    lol

    Been on Steam since ~2011-2012 I think

    Noxious is a man of few words - unless he's writing a 4000-word essay article that could probably be trimmed down to 2000. His gaming interests range from RTS, action RPGs, shooters, 2D side-scrollers, horror and childhood favorites such as Clive Barker's Undying. His guilty pleasures are World of Warcraft, Path of Exile, Dead Space and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

    13 years of service, so that's about $186 a year, or $15 a month. That's not that bad.

    ...of course, that leaves off the fact that I own a Switch, a PS5, and older consoles, along with the stuff I've bought for them. Plus I purchased a Steam Deck, which is another $700 added onto the number above lol

    From 2012, total spent = 860$ and oldSpend = 63$. Also, at most 300$ in keys from other websites.

    Pretty light because i like to wait before buying the next "incredible bla bla bla" that's going to become the "best X type of game in the world". Also, not buying Paradox and similar games helps a lot. I'd rather test them by other means due to their predatory DLC tactics and barebone main games.

    It's always smart to wait and get deals on games. It's crazy at how even just a few weeks after a game launch you can see games at a 10% discount. There are only a few games I will always buy at full price: World of Warcraft and Formula 1. I just can't not play on the launch for them, WoW more so due to it being an online game that is oh so fun with everyone as you're learning new content.

    In 13 years, not too bad

     

    Also most of my spending has been in ARS wich has an unreal exchange rate so probably much lower.

    For example Hollow Knight was 150 ARS as a recommended price for a long time  Even when it ended up costing like 0.33 usd in real converted prices. So yeah, it can be badly represented in my case

     

     

    As an example here 1 USD was around 400 ARS at this moment

    About $1400 in 10 years. Some of it was gifts to other people, but I've also bought a significant number of keys on Humble and Fanatical that are not included. I do have a tendency to buy more games than I have time to play, but at least financially it's not out of control.
