Okay. That’s an interesting statistic.
Even if we take this number at face value, this is over a 20 year period, and worldwide.

Yeah 75% of my library of 1500 games is from humble bundles, so paying like 10% of regular price.
Still a neat stat though.
I feel it would be a lot more useful as trivia if we knew how much money that was per person as well.
And actual bought price, I think it used current market price. So lots of old games are going to be extremely undervalued.
Yea I bought one humble bundle (some earthquake relief or something) and now I have like 150 games I will never play....
Of course i do, it's my retirement plans. Play all the games i now have the time to :D
Just don't end up as the this guy
or Futurama's version of it
Hahaha that would be perfect, come back in ~33 Years we'll see : p
You’re joking but this is literally a plan I have
If it makes Steam stay at #1 and stimulates development of titles we respect it's worth every penny.
And if some indie dev lasts a little bit longer because I threw away a few dollars, i'm all for it
It's ok, I balance it out by playing some games I've never paid for.
It's okay since I only buy games on sale ... oh wait, that doesn't matter as they still sit unplayed. Never mind.
...yet
And I'll keep spending. You can't stop me.
And I helped
Dunno how I feel about being part of that statistic…
im doing my part
I'm doing my part! 💪
I'm doing my part 07... for Lord GabeN
Is the tribute we pay for our lord and saviour GabeN
Sorry everyone. Ill try to do better, I promise.
... nor own.
I could still play them.
It's really great having some unplayed stuff that I try later.
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.
