Thank you Humble bundle for inflating the value for my account

[–] NocturnalMorning 16 points 1 year ago

That my privacy settings are set correctly, so they didn't have any information on me besides the number of games I own.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I've spent close to 7% of my life playing steam games?

[–] glimse 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only surprising thing is that I guess I have all my games hidden. Oh well

[–] TheCheddarCheese 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

how do you even display them

[–] glimse 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No idea, I didn't feel like figuring it out lol

[–] thorbot 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It says right on the page. Edit profile - privacy - set to public. Wait 5 mins

[–] pleasejustdie 7 points 1 year ago

I saw that too, then thought, "nah, I'm good"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Its not that bad if you open steam and click your name in the top right, but for the lazy it ain't worth it

(full instructions are on the page when it realizes youre account is private)

That I apparently do not exist on steam

[–] Mr_Blott 2 points 1 year ago

I found I had to put in the whole URL that's in my profile, rather than just my Steam name

[–] dylanTheDeveloper 11 points 1 year ago

My favourite game is Blender apparently with over 4000 hours

[–] taiyang 8 points 1 year ago

The most surprising thing are the games we played along the way~

I'm feeling lucky had me play some random ass VN I got as a gag gift multiple times.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

11 cents per hour? Nice. I pay more than that at an arcade, even if the price is just a single quarter. :D

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That I've only played 60% of my 750 games

[–] kaitco 5 points 1 year ago

5% of 400…

I’m so ashamed that the numbers clearly present me as one of those “but, it’s on sale!” buyers who then only play 3 games year after year.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been doing my best, and I got past 50% of my 847 a while back!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

39% wow. Yeah lots of free games and Humble Bundles.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it any good in the long run?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is what any good? Humble Bundle? I don't know, I quit buying them years ago because I didn't play enough. Same thing with PC Game Pass.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I should probably join humble bundle, I've been paying full price

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I just wishlist games on Steam and Isthereanydeal.com and wait for sales. In the long run often games will be given away for free before I buy them.

[–] Geek_King 6 points 1 year ago

I'm shocked I've played as many of my games as I have! I thought it would be a lot lower of a percentage

  • Games owned: 903
  • Games played: 654 (72%)
  • Hours on record: 10,428.8h
[–] colonial 5 points 1 year ago

$0.26/hour is pretty good!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That my total playtime is still only 10 months. I could have sworn I had spent over a year by now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

There's only 4 games that I've bought that I've paid over $55 for. Over the 10 years I've apparently been on Steam, I would have thought there'd be more in that price range, but I guess I've been pretty good at taking advantage of sales.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It says I have nearly 4k hours playing games, but I have a single game at 1k hours and only a few in the 100 hour range. Idk how it got that high, I feel like it's counting non-games but idk what.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wallpaper Engine will do it for ya if like you say counts non-games.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Only 2000 hours in 19 years? Doesn't feel right, but I guess many of my games aren't from Steam.

[–] StringPotatoTheory 3 points 1 year ago

That I've only played 400 out of the 1600 games I own (in my defense I got a lot of these games from bundles) and I have 6800 hours total playtime.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That I spent ca a third of a dollar per hour of gameplay (in paid games only).

I expected my rate to be much worse with my huge backlog...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Out of 394 games, I've only paid 53,50€ or more for 3 of them. What a cheap bastard LMAO

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Total Hours on Record: 8,823.0h

[–] son_named_bort 2 points 1 year ago

My account value is $321. Blastoff!

[–] wasted_in_time 2 points 1 year ago

My average is higher than I thought ~$18.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've spent almost exactly 150 days in STEAMVR but it's not counted?!

[–] lordxakio 1 points 1 year ago

I’ve been on steam for almost 15 years. Time flew!!
