Great idea for a thread

I got Steam back for HL2's release. Surprised I haven't spent more, tbh, but I nearly always wait for deep discounts or use key sites.
Also, gameplay hours aren't logged for offline mode, so I think I have way more than 7400 hours.
Does anyone understand the "Price Per Hour" stat? Looks like its hours / account value. I feel like it's backwards. Shouldn't it be account value / hours? Which means I've spent about $.25 per hour played, not $3 like it says.

2 years in. Cheapassery at its best.
I dont get their price/hr. If I've spent $83 and played 260 hrs, that's about 33 cents per hour played. Not $3.32/hr. Or is avg playtime what the average gamer spends playing these games?
My GOG account is probably half this Steam chart if they had a recap site.

You're also at around 6yrs on steam vs OGs that have been there for 17+. (OG defined by 17+ because that makes me an OG lol).
If you project your current rate, you'd be right around $2000 at 15 years!

Steam Calculator and SteamID Finder
This page will calculate the approximate value of your Steam account by looking up your games on your Steam community profile, using the current prices for each game on the Steam store.

it'd be more like 9,000-10k at 15 years, LOL

either there's one game that you've spent tens of thousands of hours in.... or you just don't use steam at all

I rarely game on PC. This last year was actually ether most games I've bought on Steam. Only sales and it's generally older titles and VERY rarely anything over $10.
Most played game recently is Vampire Survivors (24 hours total) which I played a lot over Christmas break. Before that was Inscryption and NFS Heat (neither on Steam).

Well neither value is how much you actually spent. Plus like I said you can't really put a price on delisted games.

I assume the values are based on current store prices. Not sure if it considers current discounts. I’ll have to check if the value goes up when the Steam sale ends.

Ya, the red number is current prices and green number is at their discounted price. The system doesn't dig into actual credit car purchase prices. At least I think thats how it works. The pricing will always be off anyway because for people who bought games at their high regular price years ago at launch, that wouldnt reflect here. So the more a gamer buys games at regular price, the $$$ is understated as the current price now can be discounted heavy 5 years later.
For me, I just started doing Steam 2 years ago during Xmas 2020. I buy old ass games with low regular prices to start with and get them almost always at cheap sales. So for me, my green number is probably a decently accurate number to real life transactions.
But the math is still wonky looking at the cost per hour.

Never actively farmed a card, I have Cookie Clicker on 24/7 (11,500.4h), before that it was Idols of the Lost Crusaders (48,113.6h).
The clickers really mess up the stats.

Your sale value to current value ratio us crazy high. Is it the type of games you buy?
An honest 12 years work cultivating this account lol. I had a real bad Humble Bundle phase early on.
Is there a way to calculate the current market value of Steam inventory? I have so many dumb trading cards in there that I have no clue what to do with.

A good bulk of the titles (mostly unplayed) comes from bundles during the big mid 2010's bundle boom which is all I can think of causing the number to be so high. I did get a number of titles at Early Access but not enough that had that big an increase in value.

Not worth much, but I'm one of the original steam users.
