PC Gaming Legend Wins Steam With Achievement For Buying 40,000 Games
"As Gamesradar reports, SonixLegend has a reputation in the Steam community for being the super-user even among super-users. Based in Shanghai, China according to their public records, they've been active on Valve's PC gaming storefront for over a decade and have an account level of 303. They've been collecting games for years and it's finally caught up with them in the form of a new Steam record."
"Thanks to places like SteamDB, we can glean all sorts of weird info about SonixLegend's collection. Technically, they have 97,000 titles in their account, but majority of them are junk that don't qualify for the achievement. If you were somehow able to magically refund everything in the library at today's prices, the total catalog would be worth over $640,000. Man, would it suck to lose the password to that account or get banned for breaking Valve's TOS."
"Polygon estimated that it would take over seven years to beat every game in SonixLegend's collection. But at the rate they're actually going, that will probably never happen. SonixLegend's actual favorite game, ironically enough, is a free-to-play co-op shooter called Alien Swarm. It came out back in 2010. They have played it for over 550 hours. They also have over 100 Steam products that cost more than $200 each."
Valve awarded Steam user SonixLegend the 'Game Collector' badge after purchasing over 40,000 qualifying Steam games. The account is based in Shanghai, China and has been active for over a decade with level 303. Public storefront data list about 97,000 titles on the account, though many are ineligible for the achievement. The full library would be worth over $640,000 at today's prices. Estimates indicate it would take more than seven years to beat every game in the collection. SonixLegend's most-played title is Alien Swarm with over 550 hours. The user owns more than 100 Steam products priced above $200, and a leaderboard shows nearly 20 users with libraries exceeding 30,000 games, with Ian Brandon Anderson at 39,497 qualifying games.
