You don't need to be a millionaire to be a top contributor. considering that even top contributors will not be buying brand new AAA games for GAs all the time. Most of contributions will come from sales anyway. I can say at my example - I reached 5k$ CV milestone after a little over 1 year on SG - basically buying things at 66-75% sales minumum, excluding few special ocassions (like giving away Witcher Trilogy Preorder for example). With 75% sales reaching 5k$ CV takes 1250$. Now if you're buying cross region even with fees, key increased prices you will get a lot of games even 30-40% cheaper. Not all because of region locks but still let's say you're able on avg to safe 20% per game extra. then reaching 5k$ CV takes 1000$ actually. In year span it's only 83,33$ per month. It's really not so much. Ofc if you're for example a college student or underage still living with your parents it is a lot. But if you have just an average job (ofc not talking minimum wage here, but just good jpob but nothing special - not CEO of big company etc) 80$ is not nothing but you still may easily find it in your budget.

As for what I do for a living - past 4 years I've been doing a mobile work - managing official Polish math exams database and db app. Currently since 1.5 month I work as Backup and Recovery Specialist in polish department of one of the biggest IT companies in the world, sadly cannot disclose the name in public ;)

I'm unemployed, yet gave away 80 games not even two weeks ago. Spent maybe $20 on the bundle games, and the rest was bought with Steam wallet.

Well, thank you! :)

And as for the living... As you can see from my GAs I'm a game developer, but without an stable income right now. That's why I had to become an "expert" in finding good deals :)
