    No, I’ve saved hundreds of thousands. Between Steam sales and Humble Bundle, always being a patient gamer, I’ve amassed over 300 games id like to play but haven’t spent more than $500 on Steam over my entire life. I’m poor but $500 over a couple years I can do.

    For comparison, at $60 a game, that would buy me 8 console or Nintendo games at full price plus a little DLC.

    It’s the best price, bar none.

      Is that in American dollars?

      If those 300 games were even US $70 each which is exceedingly generous, you’d only scratch $21,000 as the cost of everything. Unless Steam was literally giving you $180,000+ for using their store, you’ve not saved hundreds of thousands.

      Unless you’re referring to hundreds of thousands of pennies.
