That doesn’t mean I have “$400 value of games I’ve never played.”
I’d argue that what you pay for a game and the market value are two different things. The statistic is definitely misleading. The headline should read:
Steam users purchased games they haven’t played valued at $19b.
I’d say it’s pretty rare for people to pay full value for loads of games, i.e. I agree most unplayed games came in bundles, or were gifted/purchased at massive discount.
Lemme know if you figure it out, I’ve read his comment about 12× and still scratching my head.
