Steam Releases 'External Funds Used' Tool

Have you ever wondered how much money you've invested into your entire Steam collection? Well, now you can! Valve has recently added a nifty feature called 'External Funds Used' that allows Steam users to see the total amount of money spent at the Steam store. All users have to do is sign into their Steam account at this link. Do note that the tool doesn't take into account key activations. So, games that have been purchased through third-party stores like GOG, Green Man Gaming, Humble Bundle, G2A, and etc. will not contribute to the grand total. The "OldSpend" field equals to the amount of money that was spent before the Limited User Account policy was implemented in 2015. The "PWSpend" is related to purchases made on games operated by Perfect World Entertainment. a Chinese company that runs CS:GO and DOTA 2 in China. So, how much have you spent? Let us know in the comments below.

looniamwell, if you wrote a review for every game you own, that would be a tax write off, no? :/
I think one would need to make income off the reviews or get free games at least for said reviews, in order for it to qualify as a write off.

Easy RhinoLess than a grand. Pretty good. I thought it would be more for so many years...
$0.99
I bought one game, on sale, and the DRM was so irritating that I've never spent anything more.

Nobody has that kind of time to actually enjoy playing all of those games. Not unless he is a virgin that lives in his mom's basement...
