We worked out the total of everyone's Steam pile of shame and the result is scary

Whether it’s Diablo 4, Cyberpunk 2077, or Red Dead Redemption 2, our collective Steam pile of shame is worth enough to buy a country.

      I’m at least $200 of this statistic, now do the people who played for less than ten hours. I’d be like $1,000.

        To be fair, I have a ton of games I completed with under 10 hours in them.

          And a bunch I didn’t complete, but felt I got good value from for <10h playtime.

    alternative headline “steam users have a ton of games they got from a humble bundle for super cheap and we didn’t take that into account and used the msrp value of each game for this shocking headline.”

    Also some games don’t count time on older games. i know I have games like half life 2 episode 1 that i have beaten that show I never played them since I played them before they started tracking time.

    Yeah, guilty as charged and I don’t even mind.

    I buy the games on sale if I play them then good for me, if I don’t then I supported developers. I see no problem here.
