.....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

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.

Many steam games are DRM free and would work even if Steam shuts down. It's been like this at least since 2011 or so (that's when I discovered this, it could be earlier).

I guess the impact would depend on the types of game which one buys on Steam.

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.

4771 € according to SteamDB

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.

Every insteresting game I "bought" on Steam is backed up (including a crack if required).

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

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.

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.

Like... 5 bucks or so? For Hollow Knight. The rest of the games are either free, demos or gift.

The vast majority of my library is on GOG

Total spend says 12k, not bad for 15 years considering how often I buy games for my friends lol

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.

£600 in 21 years apparently and most of that is from the first 10 years too. It's not my go-to store anymore.

Apparently about $1000, which feels like a lot until I see some of the bananas-ass responses here.

696 games at $4142 over 22.5 years

I've had an account for nineteen years. I think some of the stuff I've got is irreplaceable due to its obscurity.

Your Steam purchase history can be found under: https://store.steampowered.com/account/history/

I think purchases from other shops are not included (such as Humble Bundle), which makes sense. I have no total spent money calculated yet, so don't know.

Aah, that's a bit hard to calculate due to Steam keys from bundles and other websites. Running some rough numbers it looks to be about $2600 CAD over 15 years, so... not too bad?

Shut down or not it's already lost.

I've had and been using steam since 2003... I really don't want to know what that number is. And I am also convinced someone is collecting this data point for nefarious purposes, because its 2026 and everything is being used for nefarious purposes. Including this comment.

More than $6815.18, because my account is older than 2015 and purchases only go back to 2015.

But in reality, I will just reacquire the games if my library gets taken. Barnes & Noble isn't breaking into my home to take books out of my bookshelf, it is not unreasonable to demand digital products are treated the same. So I treat them the same, regardless of what moron politicians say.

Maybe $300 in total.

If they take Arc Raiders away from me, I'm going to lose my mind.

according to steamDB 1000€ at lowest prices 1700€ at today's prices over 16 years

kind of expected more
