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.

    Exactly. I almost never pay full price on Steam, and I add a lot of keys from Humble or Fanatical bundles where I only intend to play half or so.

    So yeah, I’m guessing it’s actually 10% or so of that figure if we make a few rules:

    • count bundles as a single game, and if one game is played from it, that counts for the whole bundle
    • assume games added to Steam are part of a bundle (perhaps in groups of 5)
    • don’t count games that were ever given away free
    • assume all games were purchased at a discount

    That would probably get us pretty close to the real number.
