Is this accurate ? With sales is it possible ?

inb4 "you can't buy games on steam"

In all seriousness, with the help of bundles the real value that guy spent is most likely around one tenth of that "Total cost with sales".

$0.00 on TPB

Enough game for a generation. He should really make a will.

Toilet paper bonanza?

Why would I even buy a SINGLE Steam game now that I'm on GOG?

Anyways, in all seriousness, first of all, there is no such predefined thing as "All Steam games". All is a number in 2015, All is another number in 2016, and All is a third number in 2017, and so on. So while one may buy all the games available on the service today with DLCs, they are not counting all the future games.

Secondly, the price is different depending on where you buy the Steam games. In the end you're still buying games tied to the Steam client, but because gamers are such the impatient and always cheap-pocketed bunch for some reason, key resellers and the likes exist in abundant amounts, presumably to let Valve rule the market easily after being paid by them or whatever.

Thirdly, I feel its a waste of value and money. The service is like a life support system for these games. Once the service dies, so your 7000+ games, of which %92 were not played. But hey, I see to it that not all of these games were bought on sale, and not all of these were bought full-price, so the price count got to be in the middle.

Including the DLC simulators 20-something-teen?

Do you mean your own money, or the money you're using from the credit card information of someone else's account, that you saw when you logged in to Steam yesterday?

Just razzing. No web-store is perfect.

GTA V: 35.99
Rainbow Six Siege: 44.99
Fallout 4: 59.99
The effort it takes to not blow your fucking brains out getting through all of that DRM: Priceless

The first answer of course is that you can't. With 1000+ games added a year, you'll never be able to just spend and be done with it.

Still, if you want to chase that deal, it depends on how much work and time you're willing to spend. You need to spend $5 on Steam to be able to trade and use the market (that $5 can buy you 10+ games on sale). Once you've done that you can play TF2 to get drops and sell them or trade them for games, and you can also idle trading cards and sell them.

I have no idea how quickly it's possible to build a collection this way, because I never tried it. I assume it's not very quick. So it would be better to add bundles to this. That would cost around 20 cents a game, let's say 25 games a week, that would be another $5 a week, or $260 a year for 1300 games (maybe a few less, due to repeats, but these could be traded/sold). Idling cards on these should give around this sum in Steam funds, which unfortunately won't get you the same number of games again.

Anyway, I guess that to get all games which aren't the latest AAA games would cost a few thousand dollars, assuming bundles and sales and idling trading cards to get Steam wallet funds.

The real question is, how much money do you need to buy all GOG games?

Well, with regional prices it depends where you live, but at the moment (with the Bethesda sale reducing prices a bit), it's $14,676.22 in Canada (where MaGog is monitoring it).

Should the question not read, how much would valve need to pay me to install their crap on my machine?

Should I search the entire catalog to calculate total price if I want to do it? Or a fast calculation is possible?
