How many video games does average Steam User have ?

[Kaname]

I am guessing around 200-500 seems about right.

[Aachen]

I doubt that—but what ratio of accounts with, say, one versus two hundred were you anticipating?

But what about median and mode?

How many games a user has is highly dependent on how you look at it

What about median and mode?!

[nullable]

Well the mean is kinda of arbitrary. So what about some other average values?

probs 200 is what I've seen most on average. Lots of us also have unlisted games which were removed from the store for one reason or another, sometimes just because when new year of a game comes out old one disappears... Steamdb says I own like 1300~ titles or something.

Mode might be useful, but the median? Seems like a tool for rarified situations (at least in this context).

less than 50.

there's too many ppl who make an account, play 1 game and never touch it again though, need some bonus criteria like at least 1000 hours played on Steam games or something IMO.

What about people with 2000 games who only play a handful (like close to a hypothetical mean of fifty or less) of them? Why exclude one group and not the other?

You're thinking of range, common mistake.

if ppl buy 2000 games they've probably spent at least 2 hours average per game(since that's the avg) they wouldn't be excluded at all.

But it will give a very different population than conditions in the OP.

Wait, to what uses have you been putting medians?!

Range would be suuuuuper helpful, at that.

This to be realistic.
There are millions and millions of accounts that only have <5 games.
Many only play CSGO, DOTA 2 or Team Fortress 2.
There are a lot of these kind of accounts.
You just dont see them because those users barely post on the forums.
