According to the latest statistics by the foreign media 'PCGamesN' using 'SteamIDFinder,' it was calculated that the total value of games purchased but never played by users amounts to 19 billion USD. Since 'SteamIDFinder' can only search for 10% of users with public accounts, the foreign media multiplied this figure by ten, estimating that among Steam users, the value of unplayed games reaches a staggering 190 billion USD. This phenomenon is not surprising, especially during Steam sales when players notify each other of discounted popular games, ensuring no loss. Steam also excels in using communities to attract players to purchase games, offering rewards like avatars, borders, and stickers. Some players collect games for nostalgia or peace of mind, even if they don't intend to replay them. If you want to know the value of your unplayed games, you can use 'SteamIDFinder' to search for your ID and set your privacy settings to public to discover the total worth of your game collection. © Valve © PCGamesN
