  I play 2-3 hours a day and sometimes 5 on the weekends. Easily get a few 1000 hours in a year and if I like a game ill play it for years

  It’s funny those 4 sets of numbers are basically my game time in ARMA II - ARMA R.

  I think I have ~14,000 hours in the whole franchise since like 2003.

  The only games I have over 1000 hours in are games that I’ve owned for more than 10 years and are online. TF2, Counter-Strike, Arma 2 and 3, Rocket League…

  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

  I have around 1500 in KSP but tbf, most of that is AFK where I’ve had to do long manouvre burns in the multiples of hours so I’ve just set it and walked away lol.

    And here I am struggling to get into orbit with my duct tape and boosters. Hour long burns seem insane.

  I got 800 hours across 3 years in a game. It was a huge time commitment. Loved every minute, until the dev team stopped outsourcing and lost their source code.

  1200+ hours is a terrifying thought to current me. That’s years of concerted effort. Anyone capable of focusing on a game for so long has a screw loose.

    I’m not really an avid gamer but I’ve been gaming since I was around 10 which is 22 years ago. I think most games I played somewhere around 300 hours, like Borderlands, Borderlands 2, The Pre-Sequel and 3, so that adds up to about 1200 hours. I finished quite a list of rpg’s over the years.

    But, I bought Rocket League in 2016 or so and since you can just casually play a game or two in between other stuff I’ve got over 1500 hours in. I’m not even really that good at it. I think some 100 hours would be just sitting in main menu with friends or leaving it open while going to do something else. Sometimes, I could just listen to music while absent-mindedly driving my rocket car around the field in casual.

    So what I’m saying is, time span is an important measure here. Steam should also include stats about how many hours a year people have put in on average, or per month. I think those thousands of hours for some might be put into better perspective.

      1500 hours in. I’m not even really that good at it

      I suck at some of the games I have a lot of time in. But that’s mostly because I learned to stop caring about how good I am, and just enjoyed them.

  In college I would study between rounds of civ and binding of isaac. These days I’ll use a rougelike or stardew or something as something to do while listening to an audiobook when the weather isn’t fit for biking

  There’s an MMO I have played off and on for almost 2 decades now. I can’t even imagine how many hours I’ve accumulated, especially back when I was a kid with nothing to do but school.

  Life is so much busier and way more things demanding my time as a grown-up, and I simply cannot sit in a chair like that for any long stretch of time, I get antsy.

  Running the game servers with Steam installed can do that.
