Meet the first person to own over 40,000 paid Steam games

In the realm of gaming, achieving a remarkable milestone is always a noteworthy event. Recently, an avid gamer known as SonixLegend has made headlines by becoming the first individual to own more than 40,000 paid games on the popular platform, Steam. This extraordinary feat has earned SonixLegend a unique badge, highlighting their status in the gaming community. Hailing from Shanghai, SonixLegend reached this impressive landmark just this week, joining an exclusive group of only 19 users who have amassed at least 30,000 paid titles on Steam. According to data from SteamDB, the estimated value of SonixLegend’s account ranges significantly, from a low of approximately $248,000 to a staggering $642,000, depending on whether one considers historical pricing or current market values. However, it’s worth noting that Steam's badge system has its limitations. The collection may not include numerous shovelware titles that didn’t achieve widespread player engagement or commercial success, as per Valve's guidelines. Additionally, the count excludes almost all free-to-play games, meaning the actual number of games owned could be even higher, showcasing the extent of SonixLegend's dedication to the gaming world.
