How much money have you spent on video games?

Reserved for people who want to cry about their wasted money

we need "Too many" option.

Thank you for your giveaway, WammFayet! :-)

I've lost the count a long time ago but I would say plenty.

money spent on things you enjoyed are not wasted. but if you made this into a habbit to buy games you will never play it is wasted.

I have already been a gamer for a quite a long time so I also have had a long time to spend money on it. That top answer is quite low, but I'll go with it.

I bought some games at full price some years ago, not many anyway. Now I'm still unemployed and I mostly buy from Humble Bundle or Bundle Stars. Sometimes I sell some cards on Steam and buy games if highly discounted. Sometimes I spend 5€ max on a game I'm sure I'll play and enjoy a lot.
I don't really know how much I've spent, probably not more than 500€ during the past 10 years

2k isn't really that much, if you have been a gamer for decades. And that wouldn't even include the costs for hardware. Oh, all those nice systems.

At least $800 when including console games.

On Steam, about 2200€. I mostly buy on Sale or Sites like Bundlestars or HumbleBundle.

Is there a way to see how much money one has spent in steam? Or are you all making assumptions?
I spent quite a lot, counting other platforms such as PS and Nintendo haha

I've been gaming for over 30 years so I can't really count how much I've spent during all that time.

On steam, between bundles and purchases, I'd say around 500€.

My account is worth 7k but i spend only 20$ lmao :D

definitely way more than 2k. i honestly have no idea how much exactly. ^^

Real money? Zero.
Steam money? Over 2000. On steam, I have spent 3580,88€ for games and items.

Umm...I like to think of it as how much I saved on all the hot deals ;)

Thanks to russian prices and card farming - not that much, really.

But considering that average salary in this country is WAAAAAAY lower than in Europe and USA, I'm somewhere close to 2000€ anyway…

$500+ in one year. I should stop collecting so many games outside of my wish list just because they have very good review (not that I have time to play them all anyway) and save money for the those most wanted on my wish list instead (which are never and unlikely to be bundled and command a hefty price tag even on sales).

As someone who was a console gamer most of my life the majority of the games were $40-60 each. Plus the tons of consoles I've owned easily cleared $2,000. That's without any PC related gaming. Honestly $2,000 isn't much if you are a gamer. For general entertainment a decent amount of people I know spend 2k on a weekend going out and doing things for fun. If I was someone a lot younger at like 16 and just got a part time job or someone with a status like that then 2k can seem like a lot for gaming.

Over the past year almost everything has been in bundles or very good sales for me. I look at things very differently now as someone older, especially having more insight than some due to knowing a decent amount of people in game development, publishing, and sales. If I know a dev whether it be a AAA or Indie I don't mind spending full price to show support, but games lose value so quickly especially very small indie devs where they could put a $15 price tag on their game and a few days later they drop the price by $5 or even more especially if it's online and even more so if it's a pvp game.

$486 on Steam in 11 1/2 years. Probably somewhere around $50-$100 on other sites. I think I've done pretty well at managing the spending on my hobby, and I wouldn't call almost any it wasted money -- except for maybe my backlog, since there's always another sale that goes lower, time-value of money, etc.

Too much and to fragmented for me to even do the math. My rough estimate would be around 1,5k€ as I tend to buy people non bundled, more expensive games for birthdays and Christmases.

Not sure, more than R$250? I think so.

You need to have $100 worth of games to be able to reply here ^^

Clearly, I spent ~15$ cash on my steam-account. All another - cards from trash games. TNX for its)))
PS. I won 30 games and bundles here, and almost same score on another sites.
