Hidden Steam Support page lets you see your lifetime spend on games

Steam has grown from strength to strength since launching in the mid 2000s, building up a hugely loyal userbase along the way, as evidenced by Epic Games' struggles to compete with Steam to this day, despite sinking millions into exclusivity deals. As it turns out, the Steam app has a hidden support page – one that will reveal the exact amount you've spent on games since creating your account. 

My personal Steam account is approaching 20 years old at this point and over that time, I've purchased around 800 games, a number inflated by things like the Humble Bundle. On top of game purchases though, I've also bought a number of DLCs and occasionally, I've paid out for subscriptions and microtransactions for certain titles like Final Fantasy 14 and Counter-Strike 2.

There have been third-party tools that you can use to get an estimate of the value of your Steam library for years, but this is the first time we've been able to get a Total Spend figure straight from Valve.

If you are curious to see how much you've spent on Steam over the lifetime of your account, you can find the hidden support page by heading into Steam, clicking the “Help” button, from there go to Steam Support > My Account > Data related to your Steam account > External funds used.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
