Dematerialization is the enemy of the wallet
Nowadays, video games are sold more and more in dematerialized format. Whether for reasons of space – major collectors are often obliged to devote a large part of their space to their collection of physical games – because of a missing disc player, to take advantage of a promotion only available on the digital version, or simply because it is simpler to have all your games stored in the same place, many players favor platforms like the Epic Games StoreTHE Xbox Game Passor Steam to buy their games.
The platform of Valve is also rather practical for obtaining a whole bunch of games at low prices, with long sales periods taking place quite regularly and offering titles at knockdown prices. However, this can sometimes encourage overconsumption, and the low prices push some players to spend lavishly. Sometimes you end up with a rather hefty total, and this Canadian streamer experienced it.
Its Steam library is worth as much as an apartment
From his real name Felix Lengyelthe Canadian streamer xQc is a former professional video game player, and more particularly of Overwatch. He won the Best Player award at the Overwatch World Cup 2017and has since focused on his channel Twitchwhich was among the 5 most followed channels in November 2022. Not long ago, xQc wondered how much he might have spent on games on Steam, and checked it out while it was streaming. The verdict is clear: he spent more than 150,000 Canadian dollars on the Valve platform.
And again, this is the price duty free. The total is therefore closer to 200,000 Canadian dollarswhich is equivalent to approximately 136,000 euros. The streamer himself was very surprised, thinking he had paid “only” $75,000 at most, less than half of what he actually spent. Even if this amount represents 951 games and more than 1000 additional contents added to Counter-Strike 2you must not forget that it is only about your purchases Steamand therefore does not take into account consoles and other titles that he could have purchased on other platforms.
If this figure surprises you, wait until you see yours! Please note that you can check the total amount paid on Steam by going to the tab Help at the very top of the application, then clicking on Steam Support. From there, choose My accountThen Data from my Steam accountand finally External funds used. So, have you splurged?
