    $20 million on microtransactions

    Please don’t.

    $73 million on games and DLC

    $42 per person average? Those are rookie numbers!

      20 million divided by 1.7 is about $11 per person, which isnt really that high.

      I also think theres a distinction to be made between microtransactions in f2p titles and microtransactions in AAA premium titles. I logged something like 4000 hours in Mechwarrior online and I bought mech packs because I wanted to support the devs.

      Man, I downloaded my data from steam for the past ten years I’ve been active and the total $ amount made me sad. It’s definitely not $42 a year…

        I realise i must be an edge case but i think my steam account of 10+ years is positive money wise. Got thousands of hours in the same few games and sold my old €100 CS inventory for about €500 PayPal when the market boomed.

        The amount of money I’ve spent on my system to play those few games at more fps tho, lets not calculate.
