In brief: Do you ever look at your extensive Steam library, including all those games you bought in sales but never got around to playing, and wonder how much money you've spent in total? The good – or bad – news is that there's a buried tool within Valve's platform that tells you precisely how much money you've handed over, including microtransactions and DLC. While there are ways to find the estimated value of a Steam account, such as the Steam Calculator, the platform itself can show users t

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET When I attended my first Linux convention, a company named Loki Games had a booth that was rather popular. Linux users flocked to the booth to see if a company could bring to the operating system one thing it was sorely missing: Games.

The biggest threat to the Steam Deck in 2025 won’t be the arrival of other Windows-based handheld gaming PCs. Instead, it’ll likely be the Nintendo Switch 2, which arrives on June 5 for $449.99 — smack dab between the cost of the $399 Steam Deck LCD and the $549 Steam Deck OLED. Ironically, the Steam Deck is also the Switch 2’s biggest threat. While Nintendo’s new console may have Valve’s beat on screen resolution, refresh rate, and a custom Nvidia processor capable of DLSS and ray tracing, Ste

Winnie the Pooh. Popeye. Steamboat Willie. These days, it seems the instant a recognizable character becomes public domain, someone immediately turns them into a horror movie.
