The article discusses a common fear among Steam users: checking their purchase history. It notes that while video games often encourage players to explore dangerous areas for rewards, the Steam community warns against a specific place on the platform—the purchase history. Citing a survey of over 14,000 users, the article states that most have over 100 games, and 75% have spent more than 1,000 euros on the platform. The piece shares Reddit user reactions to the topic, with one user lamenting spending over $2,000 on Counter-Strike 2, and another fearing what their Genshin Impact purchase history would look like. However, a more positive voice, Theotar, argues that buying games supports artists and creators, making it a worthwhile expense even if the games are never played.
