The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
Which excludes about $70 of games I bought retail that are tied to my steam account.
I only buy games that are on sale and generally they have to be on sale and less than $10 per game title. For the amount of games I have on back log I can wait for any game to come down on price.
Way too much - I'm a sucker for the weekend deals and such. What I love about Steam though - you can grab a fun game for 3 bucks and then the next week grab another.
I don't actually know. Would I count Valve games that run on Steam now that I didn't buy on Steam? I don't think so. I got L4D and the Valve Platinum Pack outside of Steam. So that leaves the Orange Box, L4D2, Audiosurf, and DEFCON. So maybe about 105 bucks I have spent through only Steam. I am sure I am missing something though.
More than I would like, worst part I'm a console gamer for the most part. I play maybe 5 hours of pc games if I'm reviewing or working on anything involving a PC game meaning of the shit ton of money I have spent on steam I have probably gotten like 15% of it's value. My wallet crys itself to sleep at night missing the bills it once contained.
$880 according to the calculator for 43 games. Although, in reality I probably spent around $400 buying from Steam, and about $170 in retail on games that required Steam. So it's around $570 according to my calculations. (Not counting gifts to friends)
@ajamafalous: Christ indeed. That's an impressive collection you have there. I'm sitting at about $930 so far. There's still so many games that I need to buy too!
Edit: So apparently steam calculator only listed 53 games but my list is at 73 games, so my total might be a little higher, although just like everyone else steam sales saved the day!
I tried the calculator and came up $0.00. I think I need to register with the Steam Community before it works. Anyway, I'm going to guess around $100.00-$130.00. Except for the THQ pack ($50) and DA:O (~$40), the majority of my purchases are around $5. The most recent being the Deus Ex pack for $5.
According to the steam calculator my account is worth $1109.43, but quite a few were bought on sale. The worst part is that I haven't had time to play them all.
