We can have a contest or at least make each other cry...if you own FireFox or Chrome Browser......there is an add-on available called Enhanced Steam.  If you install the add-on and then use your browser to login to the Steam store, this add-on will give you nice features you can use.

One of the features is the ability to see how much money you have spent with Steam based on the games in your library....very depressing number for many I bet:)  I don't think it can include purchases you made of steam keys outside of steam itself since I don't know how it would know what price you paid, but nonetheless still kind of fun.  Beyond this feature, it has other nice things you might like.....

My damage is not really that bad, seems like roughly $640 spent on my library (certainly more from outside steam purchases)...although I will still keep that number from my wife:)  To see this total, install the add-on and go into your account detail screen where it lists all the games you registered.  On the right hand side, it will show your total expenses.  One sobering thing is that is just my steam purchases though, I have made far more purchases from other stores and physical purchases:(  Maybe I should not have looked at this:(

I bit.  $588.  That's about what I thought it would be and way less than the money I've spent on firearms that I barely ever get to shoot anymore.

Where does it show how much you spent? I installed the add on but find myself clueless as to where the spending info is.

Go to your account details screen...for me to get there was clicking on my username at the top, then select account details.  Then look at the right side of the screen, next to the list of games you bought.

Thanks.

If you include gifts it looks like I've spent only a few bucks more than KyzBP. Still, I know I've bought a lot of steam keys from other places so the real total must be a tad higher.

Yep, mine too...nowadays I buy more steam keys at other online stores, usually cheaper besides during steam sales.

Hi I might be an idiot, I have installed but how do you access it?

JudgeDredd

Log in to your steam account on the internet (Chrome) and then look at your account.

I was expecting an app on the Chrome main page...but no...you log in on the web page to steam

Now you can go down to the trading post forum and add $60 to buy world in flames and add to the list:). Going to be tempting at that price....it seems to still have a ways to go, but a decent entry fee if you want to gamble it will ever work completely:)

£35?


  • Solitaire only play
  • No AI
  • Buggy
  • AI cost
  • AI ability

As for netplay - even when/if it gets working, who the hell would I play with? Some of the vipers over there? I doubt it very much.  O0

Still sounds like too much to me tbh.

I like the idea of the game. I like the idea of lend lease of units, supply, oil all playing a part in what you can generate etc, etc...but I don't know. I don't have a good track record with monster games.

I don't know still expensive? Not enough "game"?

The hilarious thing is, had it been priced differently on release, I'd have bought it - warts and all.

If its a second hand game and not registered to you, will you still be able to update it, because I figure there's going to be a lot of updates
