    Steam just tracks how long the program is running. My old rig played Dark Souls 3 24/7 sometimes because the .exe file would glitch and stay open until I manually terminated it. I averaged 168 hours a week coming back from a 2 week vacation once.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if basically every person with over 1k hours in a game isn’t seeking some sort of escapism, not counting the anomalies like people leaving servers running etc.

      I suppose every minute in a game is escapism of some sort, but escapism from dysphoria or something else significant, I think would be common.

  • De_Narm@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I honestly don’t get it. I’ve been playing the same game for about three months of real time now and clocked in about 120 hours. I didn’t play anything else and and it’s consuming most of the time I have to myself. The game is Witcher 3.

    Now, that means every 1000 hours would take me 25 months or just over two years of playing a game exclusively. Probably more sind my data above includes my Christmas vacation, which was quite lengthy. No single game is good enough to take such a big place in my life. I could play so many shorter better games.

      If I’m playing only 1 game for 3 months and it doesn’t hit 500 hours I clearly wasn’t playing it that much. I have a ton of spare time though.

      I’ve got about 2,500 in L4D and L4D2. That took a solid year or more of playing non-stop, every night. Part of the reason for the divorce. Can’t understand how people rack up these numbers.

    • TwanHE@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I’m not that big into single player games but for multiplayer I usually stick to 1 at a time. Think my steam shows a total of 10k hours over the past 12 years, with 95% of my games played there.

      With less hours played each year as higher education cost me more hours of studying.

      source
    • Kalladblog@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Not really. It depends on the game and also the individual. About 50/50 I suppose. Games like Warframe, Skyrim, Civ or generally competitive games tend to be the ones where you’d find more people with quadruple digits of playtime rather than let’s say more narrowed down single player experiences (without mod support) though there are some cases for those too ofc.

  • IndiBrony@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I’m sorry but I want to take a slight tangent to show just how high my power level is when it comes to this shit.

    I was interested in tracking my game time on my games in years well before Steam was a thing. We had a family computer and a printer.

    Some are expecting an excel spreadsheet, which was absolutely possible, and I’ll come back to that, but no. I was maybe 8 years old and my solution was to print off an entire page of numbers, cut each of them out individually, then every time I played a game, I’d place the next number inside the CD case.

    Naïve me thought printing up to 20 would be enough, but once I want over that, I simply kept the 20 in the case and added another number inside.

    Years later - in my teens in the mid-00’s - I was obsessed with Pro Evolution Soccer. This is where the excel spreadsheet came in. I logged every single game, the result, the date I played the game, colour coded the results red/yellow/green to show loss/draw/win respectively, won trophies, and a bunch of other stats.

    I didn’t move on to Steam properly until the start of the 2010s. Since then my biggest game is 2016’s Motorsport Manager, which has logged in 1720 hours, followed by Civ V which has 1122 hours since I started playing in 2017.

    My current time sink is Football Manager. I have played over 500 hours in little over a year. Anyone who has played FM knows those are rookie numbers.

        I think I did to a point. I definitely remember writing down stuff like that. I was nerdy enough to actually buy graph paper books like you’d get at school. I’m sure I made a few graphs with coloured pens on how many times I’d played games.

    I quit League some half a year ago after 10 years of playing. I can see now how impossible it seems to play that consistently when you just consume different games rather than having a single title.

    It’s a completely different experience.

    As a side note, what’s up with all the people saying “I played a game”, just say what game it is, we are all nerds in here.

    It’s me. I have numerous games like this. The answer? Alt-tab + multiple monitors + powerful PC. It’s easier for me to just switch to another application and switch back when I want to keep gaming than to close the game completely and open it again… Only sometimes it’s more than a day before I get back to playing again. And there’s how you end up with numerous games with thousands and thousands of hours on Steam.

    • Contramuffin@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      1000-2000 hours in several games. It’s a mix of several reasons:

      1. Some games are more replayable than others. My high-playtime games tend to be roguelikes, played over multiple years

      2. The more you play something, the more of a comfort game it gets. It becomes easier to just play it mindlessly if you just want to turn off your brain

      3. Some games have inconvenient save systems, intentional or otherwise (especially true for roguelikes). This incentivizes you to just leave the game running overnight instead of saving and quitting

      source
    • peoplebeproblems@midwest.social ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      As the other comment said, more than a single year. But say you spend 6 hours on a game every Saturday and Sunday. Thats 624 hours right there. If you spend 2 hours every week day, that’s 520 hours (1144 hours). I have about 2000 hours in Path of Exile. It came out in 2013, but I really didn’t start playing it until 2018. But I played it off and on through 2023. Or about 400 hours/year. Throw in 300 hours of monster hunter, 500 hours of elden Ring, and factorio, and some other things sprinkled here and there and you get to the 1144 hours.

      But admittedly I’m not always playing. Say I take a 15 minute break every hour. That’s 221 hours I’m not really playing. Add on top of it times I take a break and forget that I left the game running. Add some time playing for days off of work, subtract more for breaks.

    My steam account has just over 4000 hours logged in Dota 2, plus there’s about 1000 hours sitting on another dead account somewhere.

    I played the game for like 7 years, pretty much daily for anywhere between 30 minutes to… Well I did a 24 hour stream once when I finally decided to play ranked for a while. I think about that stream whenever I consider going back to the game, but the audience has changed so much and language barriers are so difficult in games like that
