'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 guess I'm a weird one. I've saved so much money using Game Pass it's not even funny. Throw in the pc version, and I've saved even more. I can try so many different genres I wouldn't typically risk my money for. I have also avoided buying games I thought I would love but then ended up hating.

Yeah, I don't think I make that many that wrong purchases, although that doesn't mean that a lot of games I enjoy end up unfinished due to limited time. When it comes to testing games, one thing that's neat is that demos got a huge revival in the last few years, particularly due to Steam Next Fest.

Looking at the current line-up, I'll say that right I'd probably come to a different conclusion, seeing as Blue Prince, South of Midnight and the new DOOM are all included. Then again, I use Linux, so I wouldn't be able to use Game Pass even if I wanted to.
