Steam Users Accumulate £14bn Worth of Unplayed Games
Steam users have collectively amassed £14bn (bn) worth of unplayed games, according to new research from PCGN and SteamIDFinder. This staggering amount is equivalent to the gross domestic product of Nicaragua.
The research, based on an analysis of 73 million accounts in the SteamIDFinder database that are set to public, reveals that users have spent £1.4bn on games they have never played. Extrapolating this data to all Steam accounts suggests that the total value of unplayed games across the platform is £14bn.
