'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know (www.pcgamer.com)

Does total include the Old Spend?...and what is Package Only? None of these numbers seem to add up to each other. Or are they also separate.

Also what lazy dev just posted the query column names instead of decoding them for the end user

From the page with the values:

"OldSpend" is the amount of external funds applied before Friday, April 17, 2015 18:00:00 UTC.

From Steam support regarding package only:

This row includes the portion of the account's total funds spent that could not be transferred. For example, a hardware purchase, gifted game, or in-game item does not count toward Package Only Spend, but a game purchase for your own library would.

Yes, I read that. It did not clarify what I was asking.

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You asked what package only means, and I found an answer.

Total is total, with old spend being the cutoff of old spending.

None of the numbers are guaranteed to add up to each other.

I don't know what's missing from the reply.
