STEAM ADDS OPTION TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU'VE SPENT ON ALL YOUR GAMES

[turf]

Steam Summer Sale is upon us. Time to increase those lifetime totals :p

When?  Now???

When?  Now???

Yep. Started about an hour ago. Big gimmick this time around is a little wave defense game that playing it gives you chances to win select games.

I don't log into Steam's website. When they add it to the profile options on the client, then I'd be interested to look.

Yeah I tried looking on the client side and didn't see a way to access it.

I have to say, it seems like the Steam sale isn't what it was in previous years; the discounts don't seem as enticing as they were last year or the year before that. Anyone else feel this way?

They specifically changed them at a certain point.  We are certainly getting maybe less big stupid sales on games, but they changed it from a focus on a few games a day, where you had to spend regular time keeping up with what was on sale, to a system that is just "Hey, everything that can be on sale is on sale and its whatever publishers want to do".  Abit better, abit not, plus there's also just a point where you've bought so many games, there's less to find.  Can still find good sales like I'm looking at Shadow of War for 66% off, and some other game I wanted to try for cheap.  Firewatch is 5 bucks so I might grab that, and still browsing for a couple real cheap games, since I am saving up for a new PC and can't afford to go wild with games, even on sale.

Basically, Steam puts a bunch of stuff on sale for 2 weeks, and highlights some each day.

For some good deals, fanatical has some really good deals with their summer sale, especially with their promo code.

I've been on for 4.5 years now and only spent $380. Woo
