I pirated a few games and played them to death.
Then bought the steam copy when I had money to support a game I love, AS A GOOD PIRATE DOES. Of course I have no steam time recorded for it lol

Yeah almost all of my play history from earlier in my accounts existence wasn't recorded. Not gonna lose sleep over it tho
Yeah, the math for mine would definitely be off, just because I used to be a console gamer. A lot of the games in my Steam library I played on Xbox or PlayStation before, and picked up for PC when they were on sale after I switched over.
There's so many games that I picked up that I'd played through/completed in my childhood, but they'll likely forever show as unplayed in my Steam library. I've been slowly going back through my Steam library chronologically though, to try to at least reduce my unplayed games amount, and also to at least check out games I might've missed. I'm not forcing my self to actually finish the games, just play them for at least a few minutes, maybe mark it for follow-up later, but the point is to reduce my unplayed games list so I don't feel as bad about it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
For starters, SteamIDFinder is using the current sale price of every game in your unplayed library, as confirmed by looking at a half-dozen "Pile of Shame" profiles.
Steam and I disagree on whether I've launched and played Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition (I definitely did and was definitely overwhelmed), Mountain, and SteamWorld Dig.
Even if they're not dedicated tools, Steam libraries sometimes end up with little bits of game that you didn't ask for and might never play, like Half-Life Deathmatch: Source.
So nobody I could easily poll had fewer than 25 percent of their games unplayed, and those with higher numbers tended to have bought into bundles, sales, add-ons, and other entry generators.
If you've looked up your own stats and feel surprised, you can keep your unplayed games as a dedicated collection in Steam, and it might inspire you to check out the most intriguing left-behinds.
Play what interests you when you have the time, and if your unplayed count helps you stave off your worst sale impulse buys or rediscover lost gems, so be it.
