A (probable) member of the Qatari royal family has spent $250K to level his Steam account to 4,000

[SFLUFAN]

From PCGamesN:

That 'milestone' has been reached by a Steam user who goes by St4ck. At the time of writing, they're level 4,035, with a library of nearly 5,000 games and more than 6,000 badges in their collection.

[Blablurn]

congratulations mr st4ck

 

[whiskas_fanatic]

Just keep in mind that it's like 25$ for him.

 

[Mizeris Lutz Ether Lanai]

Your move, Soulja Boy.

 

[Sinfamy]

He still doesn't have a Steam Account from 2003 like me.
Stay mad pleb.

Spoiler

Too bad it's VAC banned.

 

[ZugZug123]

If they had the money to spare, why not I think?

 

[Jessie]

I fully support whale hunting. If we're not gonna tax them, we have to get their money into the economy somehow.

 

[OMEGALUL]

JaseC is that you?

 

[Metanoia Prime]

strange demonstration of wealth; however, permissible

 

[Powerofthecloud]

That's a hell of a accomplishment.

Royal families are against the Qun. Report to a Talmassran for re-education.

Obscenely rich people have spent money on worse I guess.

Is that more impressive than jasec?

Pfft, it's not even over 9000.

$250k is chump change for a middle eastern royal family.

What a waste of money.

Totally worth it brehs

Don't we all...

 

[a916]

Why would a person who can easily throw around 250k even remotely care this much about badges?

 

[Strafer]

Had no idea the levels went that far.

I thought it capped at 50 or something.

 

[Futaleufu]

At level 4000 you'd need to complete 400 badges to increase a level.

Ouch.

Qatar royal family has about three hundred billion dollars. Since we can't know the individual's wealth, we'll go with the family's.

$250K is 0.00008% of three hundred billion.

Median net worth of an American household is about $97,300.

0.00008% of $97,300 is about $.08.

So for the Qatar royal family fortune as a whole, spending $250K on a steam account is the equivalent of an average American family spending eight cents.

Damn, he could've bought Hakoom's ID and to end his misery

But why?

God, I wish I had so much money that I could just throw it away on useless shit.

I wouldn't of course, but knowing I could would feel great.

 

[Skade]

There's levels in steam ?

 

[EvilBoris]

I wish I that that much money to waste on pointless shit

He can make some of it back selling booster packs, whose drop rate increase with account level.

Remember when they were going to do something with steam levels?

I gave a dude on the street $1 the other day. So if I ask this guy nicely he'll give me $3,125,000?

 

[ShinUltramanJ]

Would've been 4,001 but Epic took it away.

 

[yuraya]

Just imagining how tedious it would be to repeatedly craft all those badges and dealing with all the clutter of emotes/backgrounds in your inventory. The guy literally took on a part time doing this lol.

I'm only lvl 44 on my profile and that shit felt tedious.

I agree with this. Plus eventbough it's chump change for them I'd rather this money goes to something like entertainment industry than military.
