Just under $70 for me. Been on steam 3 years almost to the day today. Not much of an impulse buyer

Since late 2008, 455$. That includes at least 2 8-packs that people chipped in for, however (about an extra 100$ that I didn't pay). That also doesn't include some games, since my account has been open since at least October 2007. It also doesn't include Portal 2, L4D2, L4D, and the Orange Box, because those were purchased at retail. None at full price, either. So, say, 600$?

Steam calculator says $1454.93 USD. For 108 games. Ha!

According to steamcalculate: Found 222 Games with a value of $3313.79 USD.

Probably no more than $500 in actual spending though (over many years), as I rarely buy games within 6 months of release. I've also bought a few of those big packs over holiday sales where you spend like $50 for a supposed "$700 value".

Apparently $5, plus $15 spent on gifts. I have Half Life 2 but it doesn't show up in purchase history, so I don't know how I got it or how much I spent.

I have...
1. TF2: I received the boxed game as a gift. Also gave the game as a gift to someone. I'd say it's worth the money, even if I only have 36 hours total on it.

2. Left 4 Dead 2: Purchased for $5 during winter, also bought a second copy to gift. One of my friends wanted us to play it, which was the main reason I got it. We've only played one game. This purchase wasn't worth it.

3. Portal: Downloaded for free during one of Valve's promotions last year. Great value, I wouldn't feel bad having paid $5, $10 at most, as I beat the game in under 5 hours. More than $10, I dunno if that'd be worth it.

4. Counter Strike, Half-Life 2 / Lost Coast: Don't remember how I got these. I know I didn't pay for CS or Lost Coast. I think Half Life 2 was a birthday present. Probably was purchased at MSRP.

I actually have more non-steam games sitting around. Armored Princess, Evil Genius, Trine, Company of Heroes, plus some PS1/2/3 games. On those PC games I think I spent around $20.

I haven't bought games in quite a while due to my backlog, but I also haven't been making any progress since I keep getting sucked back into Civ 4.

"You own 151 games worth: $2,443.95 USD . . . You spend an average of $16.19 USD ($6.42 USD) per game."

Sigh. Bad. But not as bad as I thought it would be.

I came up zero, zip, null, none or $0 dollar??
I'm pretty damn sure I've spent way more than that.
I've been with steam since 2004 and purchased 80% of my games from it.

Steam calculator puts it at almost $1K.
Transaction history says $373.

But it says I have Psychonauts as being "complimentary." I have no idea how I got that game then... :hmm:

Maybe $6.00? Think I spent $2 on Torchlight and $4 on Mass Effect during one of the summer sales. I wouldn't mind having my two dollars back for Torchlight though.

Steam calculator wouldn't work for me either. Don't know why.
