Let's be honest, one of the ills of being a gamer in the 21st century is hoarding games. But how many games did you buy? in the current Steam sale? And how much of it you will actually play? In addition, you occasionally pick up a game for free and suddenly you have it in your library dozens and hundreds of titles.
Web PCGamesN with the help of a database SteamID Finder, decided to calculate what these games are worth in total, aggregated from all players' libraries on Steam. It came to a staggering $19 billion, over 445 billion crowns. “More than the gross domestic product of Nicaragua, Niger, Chad or Mauritius,” the article says.
Perhaps it should be mentioned that this is not serious research. PCGamesN was based on 73 million public profiles on the SteamID Finder. That's roughly a tenth of all players. From them they came up with a number 1.9 billion dollars and just him multiplied by ten. In addition, it should be added that the price of titles often fluctuates. It's not just about discounts, their price can be reduced permanently. Or suddenly it will be free. So the price of your library can change from day to day. Not to mention we only talk about Steam the whole time, you guys free games on epicwhich you collect every week, have some value too.
Anyway, it's an interesting statistic, and whatever the actual number is, it's certainly similarly massive. Another number that can be startling is how long it takes to finish all those games in your library. If you have a public profile, you can find out on the website How Long to Beat.
