MODERATORS
This number is likely very inflated though and doesn't match what people actually spent on unplayed games.
It couldn't have accounted for key sales or bundle purchases. I have at least a hundred unplayed games that were included in some random Humble Bundle I bought just because of one game that was in that bundle. If you were to divide bundle pricing by amount of unplayed games, it'd be like 1 or 2 bucks per game.
And even that number isn't really representative, because when I buy a bundle for one game, it's because the bundle price is at or at least pretty near the historic low for that game. So the "extra" games aren't really costing me anything.
