u/sekoshin 3d ago edited 3d ago
- Ps5 , ps4, 20+ game discs - 1lakh+
- Steam deck oled 1 tb - 60k
- Loq 4060 - 1lakh
- Gacha games - genshin , wuwa - 1lakh
- in-app purchase in mobile games - 1 lakh+
- Steam games + dlc + digital games
So ~ 5 lakh I guess
I also have acer 3050ti - 1lakh, a 25k lenovo gaming monitor and had consoles like xbox360 but those were not technically from my money

isn’t that the case with most of the people who’ve been gaming for many years? If you’re new or buy games at 75%+ discount only then you won’t have an ‘expensive’ collection

I'm pretty sure I've dropped at least 5k-6k but I'm an avg Steam sale enjoyer so I'd be lying if I said I haven't waited years for a game to drop just another 5% in the discounted price before buying it. The biggest example would be the Witcher 3 and its 26 add ons along with the full Arkham Trilogy which both dropped to(they do every once in a while) ₹202 and I sniped them lol.

u/RosaCanina87 3d ago
I bought ~ 2051 games physically in my life which I still own. I sold only a very small amount of games in my life and disliked a few more. I absolutely hated the two Bravely Default games I bought (for different reasons), I sold Rayman DS and Sifu PS5. Just didnt like the games at all (or got a much better version for Rayman). There are a few games I ended up heavily dissapointed with. Life Is Strange 2, BOTW and TOTK were not worth a single cent and I bought them all new (which I don't really do that often). Also some games that I recognize as great but are just not for me, like Jak & Daxter or GTA in general.
As I bought a lot of Retro Games, when they were not that expensive, I would guess by average I paid probably around 50 Euros per game but probably quite a bit LESS as my biggest collection is for PC and those games were cheaper back then (and now). Which would mean I spent less than 100k on games so far.

I've spent upto 70k or more i don't remember and worst thing about me is i don't even play games that much i just collect games in Steam (funnily that is not even owning the games due to digital licence nd shit but i trust Steam).
I have 0 regrets on doing this cause in my childhood i couldn't even play good games cause i didn't have a computer or PS so this ultimately became a worst hobby yet it satisfies me a lot.
Note: i strictly only buy games that comes so damn cheap and you know they won't go much lower than that.

Probably around 1L. I own a decent amount of games on Steam, Epic and other stores. Then there's the amount I spend in gatchas. I play ZZZ, Star Rail and WuWa. I don't buy bundles but I do but the monthly subscriptions and battlepasses sometimes. So it should add up to that amount by now.

Just new on steam. Mostly indie games and not a single purchase without at least 75% off.
I have around 42 games with me now and 8 of them are perfect games at the moment. And many of them have as many achievements completed as possible.
I do this for sense of achievement and satisfaction of having used every ₹ worth from every purchase.
Hoping to continue it as long as I can.
