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.

They don’t say how they come to that number in the article, so I assume they are using non-sale prices. I know that I’ve gotten some bundles of games in the past that were 95%+ off, which I bought just for the one game because it was the same price or cheaper.

Doesn’t Steam keep up with the amount of time people have played their games? Or is it up to the individual games to track that?

I have no idea to be honest, I don’t use Steam and haven’t purchased any games since the 90s…

Steam does keep track of play time, but I am not sure what playtime has to do with my comment.

Playtime = 0?

Then player hasn’t played the game.

Duh.
