Also, a stance against all DRM at the time. I had no idea offline mode existed before I made my account.
Funny how Steam's now considered one of the least intrusive DRMs. A populated steam_appid.txt file can essentially make a lot of games DRM-free.
My stance has since refined down to being anti "always online" DRM.
Without further ado, les statistiques:
Hours on record (paid and free): 6,970h (That's 290 days and 10 hours; or roughly 1/16th of the past 13 years.)
Average playtime: 14.0h
Value: None'a yer beeswax, ya nosey Rosie!
I hate that ck2's base game is now free-to-play, so the 705 hours I spent in it get lumped into the 1,200 hours of free game time, which skews the stats.

I honestly didn't think there was someone out there with a worse bought-to-played ratio than me. Most of these games are from humblebundle, before I stopped buying from them (mostly). I bought one game from steam last year, in January 2023, the Utawarerumono series. I have yet to install it. In 2022, I bought Deep Rock Galactic (which I played a fair bit of) and NFS Heat (which I played little of).
I thought I would buy WITCH ON THE HOLY NIGHT this year (Steam-exclusive), but eh, too much money.

Well some year-end review thingy popped up, according to that, i played in January-February, with 40% time spent playing through GTA 5 and 60% suffering in CS2. (or is that cs go?)

I believe if steamdb isnt taking into consideration and adjusting the prices before the transition to dollars of the store to its real value, imho probably its not adjusting by inflation at all.

Lots of bundles, and not so much free time anymore. Though I also don't buy nearly as many anymore, even though my disposable income is higher. I try and be more realistic nowadays with whether I'll ever actually get round to playing a game before I buy it, though I still have my humble monthly subscription.
I won't lie, I'm a little ashamed.
Before Steam though, I'd say I spent thousands of hours across Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Urban Terror, and Minecraft. I have also never owned Windows on a personal computer, all of my gaming in my entire life has been on Linux. Well, and I have had every generation of playstation (usually 5 years late), so there was a lot of burnout played not on linux.
