Steam users have spent $19 billion on games they’ve never played
Steam users have spent $19 billion on games they’ve never played
Whether it’s Diablo 4, Cyberpunk 2077, or Red Dead Redemption 2, our collective Steam pile of shame is worth enough to buy a country.
Ever since I bought the steam deck and moved away from GaaS I've actually started to dent the library. Doesn't mean I will play everything. A lot of them were once fillers on bundles and not that great, but some truly were gems.
2 0 ReplyOkay. That’s an interesting statistic.
Even if we take this number at face value, this is over a 20 year period, and worldwide.
Americans waste more than $408 billion each year on food, with dairy products being the food item we toss out the most. The average American family of four throws out $1,600 a year in produce.
34 0 ReplyYeah 75% of my library of 1500 games is from humble bundles, so paying like 10% of regular price.
Still a neat stat though.
31 0 ReplyI feel it would be a lot more useful as trivia if we knew how much money that was per person as well.

If it makes Steam stay at #1 and stimulates development of titles we respect it's worth every penny.
