Okay. That’s an interesting statistic.

Even if we take this number at face value, this is over a 20 year period, and worldwide.

Americans waste more than $408 billion each year on food, with dairy products being the food item we toss out the most. The average American family of four throws out $1,600 a year in produce.

Yeah 75% of my library of 1500 games is from humble bundles, so paying like 10% of regular price.

Still a neat stat though.

I feel it would be a lot more useful as trivia if we knew how much money that was per person as well.

And actual bought price, I think it used current market price. So lots of old games are going to be extremely undervalued.

If it makes Steam stay at #1 and stimulates development of titles we respect it’s worth every penny.

It’s ok, I balance it out by playing some games I’ve never paid for.
