Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know

  Main reason for me is that I have bought humble bundles, donated to gamejams, and gotten keys off of legit and grey-market sites in the past in conjunction with buying directly from Steam. Those aren’t included in the Steam spend category.

    The tool doesn’t know how much you paid for it, though, so it’s completely ignoring sales and donations and just applies a price to it.

  You should look at the External Funds thing mentioned in the article. It gives a different spending breakdown than Purchase History.

  That path is incorrect and the article tells you exactly how to find it on Steam

  Hahaha this takes me back. My first purchases in 2011 were a few TF2 weapons. I got my account a short time after it went F2P.

      lol yes. I did it a few times before I realized that it’s not a good way to get weapons. Only lost a few bucks.

      It is now. It wasn’t at first.

      It was part of the Valve Orange Box and that was a big deal at the time. There was also a huge deal of whining from people who paid for it when Valve announced they were changing it to a free to play model.
