'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know (www.pcgamer.com)

I got Steam so I could play Half Life 2 when it was released. May 4, 2006. 153 games. $1,725 spent.

This thing about not owning the games ... um ... Steam is a more reliable, stable, all around better repository for my games than any device I've ever owned. Other than the Ubisoft games that are designed to not be re-usable (never buy Ubi again) I have access to every game I've bothered to spend money on for the last two decades.
