Show HN: How Expensive Is Your (Steam) Wishlist? A tool/toy that lets you connect to your Steam wishlist to calculate the total list/current price of all the games on it. There's a shallow, jokey purpose to it ("I could buy a BMW with this amount!"), but the real purpose is to demonstrate how we can do a better job of portraying a game catalog. I often wishlist stuff, then it pops up in a "Hey, it's on sale!" email months later. In that email, there's a banner capsule, but that doesn't help my brain remember why I added it. To that end, after you get the bill, you get a nice, flat feed of stuff about all the titles you've wishlisted over the years. It's all stuff that developers painstakingly put together, but which Steam tucks away under the fold of a game's Store page. Anyway, my wishlist came to about $250. My QA guy is up to $19k. Give it a go; hope you enjoy it! https://ift.tt/NiEzu6T May 19, 2026 at 10:45PM
