How much? A hidden page was found on Steam that counts your spending on games

Published by Margarita Yuzyak

It turns out that Steam has a tab where you can see how much money you spend and what you spend it on.

The costs in that hidden help include games, add-ons, skins, loot boxes, microtransactions, etc. It’s not the same as a library cost tool (like SteamDB or similar), which simply estimates your games. In that help, when you open it, you’ll see the total amount you’ve paid for the entire time.

This option was reminded by the user Reddit. So you can find it on Steam as follows:

  1. Reference
  2. Steam support
  3. My account
  4. Data associated with your Steam account
  5. Acquisition history

The journalists who first noticed this immediately checked their accounts — and there was everything from a few hundred to more than $16,000. The reaction of one of the authors was the same as that of many others: «Oh my god». In general, most of the team had amounts in the range of $2000 – $10,000. Although this amount does not look as big as one of the Reddit commenters’ — $35,000. But it’s not the biggest either: CS streamer Last year, he estimatedthat the player with the highest level of Steam account spent about half a million dollars.

Although the total amount will be «bite» for many people, it is not surprising — people can be bribed with all sorts of cool-looking junk. Fortunately, games are not currently priced at one title for $100, as the former head of PlayStation wants. Therefore, the amount of money spent does not grow so quickly and you can get more for it (except for endless remasters)
