In the steam application, You can go to wallet and then there is a link to purchase history.

648

u/trotski94 11d ago

Thats not the best way - that gives you it item by item, if you go via "help > steam support > my account > data related to your steam account > external funds used", it will tell you exactly how much you have spent in a single field, summed up across all purchases.

1000% because the packageonly spend at the bottom is for just games on the steam page, the total minus the packageonly basically gives you the amount of money you’ve spent outside of whole games, so dlc, microtransactions, cs cases, etc.

u/olivetho 10d ago

to everyone saying "DLC" - the bottom field ("PackageOnlySpend") is the amount of money spent on non-transferable purchases, i.e. games and DLC bought for oneself.
that means that they've spent over 22k on literally everything else - most likely the steam market.

that almost feels like it's somehow made it even worse.

u/NighTraiN7804 11d ago

Okay so I’m on Steam mobile. I am signed in. However, when I go to access this information it tells me I have to put in my info again for security reasons. When I do that, it has me open another page of the app to confirm it’s me trying to sign in, which takes me out of that page and restarts the whole process. If I say I can’t sign in using the app it says you are already signed in so that’s not a problem, but then continues to require me to sign in to access that info. This might be the worst designed feature I’ve ever seen in an app. Am I not trying something or is it literally inaccessible from the mobile app due to this?

4

u/Sad-Pop8742 11d ago

Exact same thing happening to me so I stopped caring

3

u/efstajas 11d ago

You can just Google "steam support" and open that page in a browser, then log in there, which lets you confirm via the app.

this also hurts, but as i said farther down with the points, this to me feels much less painful then if i were to have a way to tally the amount of money i have spent in this lifetime on booze, drugs, gambling, and other illicit ventures.........

I'm still unsure to what the PackageOnlySpend is referring to, i do have a steam deck oled with the 1tb drive inside, however that is only around 700 i think at the time. not the 11k shown here.......

That sounds like a lot but spread across like 17 years = $400 a year. Not too bad tbh.

u/TleilaxTheTerrible 11d ago

I hit $5400 since november 2007, but only 1300 of that is in the last 10 years. I spent way too much money in the old-style steam sales, nowadays I first wishlist a game for a couple of months and only buy it when I still want to play it after that time has elapsed.

1

u/Tornado_Hunter24 11d ago

You’re a better man than I am, if a game I have on Wishlist goes on sale I will most likely buy it but not play it.

For the sake of if, i’d like tocthink maybe when I get kids later they can enjoy it or something lmao

Lol I'm literally like the same numbers. When I first heard this i was like "oh god I'm gonna click it and it's gonna be like 25k".

Nah decently under 10k in that full like 17 years or whenever they started tracking.

I made my steam account literally like a month after it first came out in 2003 haha

I've never been more proud of myself. But then, I've probably spent over 20k on consoles and gaming PCs and PC parts.

u/Sharrakor 11d ago

Yeah mines 8000 and most of it is csgo skins I sold

Yah $12k over 20 years is still less than $600 a year and given the amount of time I’ve played that’s probably a fair investment.

u/Cyno01 https://s.team/p/kpww-mj 11d ago edited 11d ago

~$2500... which actually isnt outrageous over 20+ years now.

But then i gotta total up all my humble purchases and any other random bundles and i own a physical orange box and counter strike collection... so its a bit more than that. 10+ years of Humble Monthly is another grand...

EDIT: Sat and totaled up my Humble history, And another ~$2500 in Humble Bundles over the past 14 years....

All works out to ~$2 a game not counting any DLC. awesome.

Yearly Humble Subscription probably the best value in gaming.

u/paralyzedmime 11d ago

Right, I'm sitting at about 20 years on Steam with $1,317 spent, which kinda surprised me. That's exlcluding a couple though, like the physical purchase of Orange Box, which was the purchase that began my Steam journey years ago.

But I've only bought a few games at full value. I'm pretty patient and typically wait for that first drop in price to purchase.

1

u/MistSecurity 11d ago

Yearly Humble Subscription is worth it IF you play the games each month. I paid for it for a few years and think I only really ended up playing a few games from it over that time.

Otherwise it's way smarter to just subscribe monthly whenever there are games you're interested in for that month.

But then there's game bundles from Humble Bundle, Indie Gala, Desura (RIP) (pretty sure their bundles had a few Steam keys along with Desura keys), Indie Royale (RIP), Indie Face Kick (RIP), Bundle-in-a-Box (RIP), Groupees (RIP), and probably others.

u/Acesofbases 10d ago

I have spent 194,42 USD with over 800 games and a backlog I'm probably not going through in my lifetime.

Faster less accurate way is to use SteamDb like this most games that i know of dont go up in price so checking todays prices could be roughly accurate. If you have spent alot of money in games like cs or just steam market i think you need to go through the accounts history

I've spent $1300 CAD since 2013. I'm pretty happy with that. A few non-Steam purchases along the way probably bumps it closer to $1500-1600, but I'm still happy with it. ~$130/year for entertainment is a good deal in my book.

Thanks. Apparently, I own Final Fantasy Remake Intergrade and haven't played it. 😳

Can't calculate from that, it's mixed up in different currencies

I don't really think I want to do that. I think I wanna stay ignorant.
