As it turns out, there is a way to check how much money you've spent on Steam built into the app itself. Navigate to Steam Support under the Help tab, then select "My Account Information" and "External Funds Used" under the My Account tab to see exactly how much of your hard-earned cash you've sunk into Steam.

The prevailing mood was one of shock and, at times, outright denial, with one commenter definitively declaring that they were “not looking at that number. No. Not happening.” Another lamented that they “could have funded a takeover by a third world country” – perhaps a slight exaggeration, but with figures being bandied about in the threads running into the tens of thousands, it’s easy to start dreaming of what else all that money could buy.
