How Much Money Have You Spent on Steam?
COMMUNITY QUESTION | A new tool was discovered this week that allows you to see how much money you've spent on Steam, if you're a masochist or something.
This article first appeared on USgamer, a partner publication of VG247. Some content, such as this article, has been migrated to VG247 for posterity after USgamer's closure - but it has not been edited or further vetted by the VG247 team.
Earlier this week, our friends at GamesBeat discovered a nifty (or not so nifty) little tool where you can see how much money you've spent on Steam over the years. For some, it's in the thousands; for most, in the hundreds.
So using this handy internal Steam tool (perhaps best used after doing your yearly Steam Summer Sale splurge), let us know: how much money have you spent on Steam?

$304.32. Honestly, that's not that much. I imagine my PSN account is a lot higher, since I tend to play most games on PS4 because I like sitting on my couch. (I'm a gal of simple tastes, though I have gotten more into PC gaming the past year or so.) This tool also doesn't account for codes we receive, so my Steam library's a lot bigger than this figure may assume. I also don't tend to go crazy with Steam Sales like I used to. So there it is: how much I've spent on Steam.

$1,980.86. I'm probably the biggest PC player on the USgamer staff. I have the most up-to-date rig and I'll frequently re-purchase games I've reviewed on other platforms for PC. So, like most everyone I have a huge backlog of nonsense: games I want to play, games I'll never play that folks said were good, games I picked up because it was cheap during a Steam sale. I've spent entirely too much on Steam, even before this was the thing I was doing for a living.
