As gross as those 'win98' Steam screens look, actual Steam looked worse at launch.

There's more to life than a K/D ratio.

A user has spent $35,000 in his lifetime on Steam, and if you like to torture yourself, you can find out your figure too.

On Steam, you just have to go to Support->My Account->Data related to your Steam account->External Funds Used .

I spent 1731.44 USD .

I've spent over $20K on Steam itself... and probably 2x that amount on keys from official retailers like GreenmanGaming and Fanatical.

What is "PackageOnlySpend"?

I have spent ... $0

I think I've played this "how much have you spent" game before, and it was a low single-digit thousand number. The overwhelming majority of my Steam games library was purchased on some crazy discount, and I've had my account for just over 20 years.

What is "PackageOnlySpend"?

I looked it up and it seems to be only with purchasing games (e.g. excluding "points" or hardwares you bought on Steam).
On my account it differed from TotalSpend by ~US$10 and probably from an in-game item I purchased through the game (using points purchased on Steam, I still have NT$0.89 in my Steam Wallet).

Beautiful. This is a great addition to the store and allows gamers to more easily search and find content with varying levels of accessibility features which they may require. Would be great to see Valve shine a light on those games which include such features and promote them. Steam itself already has the best controller customization support in the biz.. and I think there's some very cool potential with 'accessibility templates' and community driven features for gamers with disabilities.
