STEAM Announcements & Updates 2014 II - The Definitive Edition

Status
Not open for further replies.
So I've been messing with the Steam API (since I'm thinking about rolling out some improvements to SteamPlaytime) and this is how much it would cost you to buy every game on Steam, right now:

$56862.92

You know, just in case you were thinking about doing so.

Actually, I'm kind of curious in how that changes over time now, especially during Steam Sales. I might have to have a script log that every day, and then look at the data in a year or so...

Probably very, very little. Putting 20 titles on sale out of thousands and thousands isn't going to move that number very much.

EDIT: and even all the 'non-daily' sales are probably a relatively small fraction of the total number of titles available.

There's usually a lot of games on sale throughout the duration, though, besides the featured ones. But yeah, there's probably not a huge dip.

Bad news for those looking to buy all of Steam during the next sale. =P

Thanks JaseC.

No worries. :)

That's less than I would have thought.

During the Summer, Autumn and Winter Sales, virtually everything is discounted.

Thought I'd let people have another crack at my coupons. Free to whoever wants it, just send me a chat request. Steam ID is in my profile:

50% OFF SpeedRunners
66% OFF Revenge of the Titans
75% OFF Jack Orlando Director's Cut
25% OFF Dungeon Hearts
50% OFF Iron Sky Invasion
 
That's less than I would have thought.

Yeah, me too at first. Looking at the data, though, there's 4792 apps on the Steam Store with a price attached to them, so it rounds out to an average of about $11.87 per app, which sounds about right to me. (Since that count also includes all DLC.)
 
Possibly a stupid question, but is I Have No Mouth in a bundle or something right now? I see everyone giving a way copies of it today all of a sudden

Oh it was added? I checked earlier and there was nothing added. Will gift mine when I get home from work then :)

This bundle is by far one of the best in months, great debut if this blink bundle thing is going to be a regular thing

Just added today I believe, and another game is coming too. Definitely one of the best bundles recently.

Dupy going ham again and I missed it? Oh well thanks though :)

Well that wouldn't do!! Check your PMs!!

Edit: Also just noticed I got upgraded to full member. Must be my generosity doing work.

Double edit: Also if it doesn't work, tell me so I can maybe send it directly through steam.
