Probably slightly more than that, but it’s worth considering the long-term costs. Steam does not have a monthly subscription (minimum $160/yr with PS), they often have massive price cuts in their seasonal sales, and even many games can be had completely for free. Epic gives them away every week. GOG gives them away on occasion. And if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, that includes several games a week as well.
