and if anyone is feeling awful about it, i hear DS has an app that will convert that into hypothetical spaceship parts for you that’ll make you feel like you just gotta deal…
wait, can i even mention DS here? shit, i heard the third mention you summon him…
I’m at just over $5100 total, with $2200 being old spend. However, it states this number doesn’t count anything coming in from external stores that generate a key, and I’ve bought a few things from various bundles as well as many things from GMG so I suspect it’s quite a bit higher than that.
Plus, of course, it doesn’t count Blizzard, uPlay, Origin, or the like and I have a not-inconsiderable amount in there (mostly Origin with stuff like The Sims).
And of course, let’s not forget my PS4, Switch, 3DS, and Vita I’ve had on and off again through the same time period in various incarnations. Some of that I’ve gotten back as I sell systems and games for store credit of course, but it’s nowhere near the amount I spent.
So I’ve been charting what I’ve spent on Steam (just used my purchases page and copied into a spreadsheet). Haven’t removed anything for gifts (which have always been a significant part), but I noticed something interesting:
Estimates lower bound of historical total player count based on brute forcing the lowest common multiple implied by data from the achievements API. Could be easily upgraded to do something way more efficient than brute force, not that it matters that much.
