this is what i have been saying all along
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/06/is-the-total-value-of-unplayed-steam-games-really-19-billion-probably-not/
Just want to add, not only is it a ridiculous number because of sales, there’s also free games that wreck the numbers.
Glancing at my unplayed library, sure there’s a bunch of leftovers from Humble Bundles I got ages ago for what amounted to a fraction of retail, but there’s also things like BioShock 1&2 Remastered - games that were given out FOR FREE to owners of the original. I’ve PLAYED the originals, but I assume the powers that be would tell you I have $60 worth of unplayed games sitting there since I haven’t opened the remasters.
Also depending on how theyre counted some games have beta servers and shit listed separately also mod kits and the like can be included in this.
