I’m at least $200 of this statistic, now do the people who played for less than ten hours. I’d be like $1,000.

I’ve had games not record time because I was in offline mode on vacation and I pre-downloaded it, or I just played in offline mode or directly from a game’s executable without steam’s crap embedded.

In the past it’s been trivial to set achievement unlocks and time played with 3rd party tools too.

I don’t see any kind of discounts mentioned either. I almost never buy from steam directly, usually reputable 3rd party sites like Fanatical, GamersGate, WinGameStore etc that I find through isthereanydeal. It’ll show as being on my account but nobody knows what I paid for it and I almost never pay MSRP.

Then there’s the countless bundle keys I used to get that I definitely never played and will never play because I wanted 2-3 games in a bundle of 10-20 that was cheaper than one of the games alone.

It wouldn’t shock me at all if there was 10 billion worth of unplayed games though. I have friends that buy all the hot releases and then barely touch them because a couple hundred bucks a month is not significant to their monthly budget.

This is true for me as well. I’m going to guess 95% or more of my steam games come from bundles. I have only bought a few games on steam itself. Similar situation with GOG, where a large majority of my games have been bought on 80-95% off sales. Just in case the itch strikes…

I used to buy games that devs talked about on reddit’s game dev subs. No intent to play them. I’d just pick 'em up to help the dev if I liked them or their style.

Same, but also add Fanatical and game giveaways.

Don’t look at my Epic collection. Between it and Steam have a few thousand dollars in games. (If you’re counting retail prices)

I played a bunch of older games i got cheap on steam deck and i’ll do the same when the deckard will come out. 10/10 games that are 10+ years old are great to play on the go!

Yes individually. XD
