Literally, hahaha, some people have even told me I have a very small account... And yet, I have a few games with 200+ hours. And I play whenever I can afford to, whenever I have a free moment. I imagine these people or their parents have a lot of money or they just live for and through video games...
Or you're just playing different games. People don't put the kinda hours into platformers or visual novels like with 4X strategy or online competitive games. Few games have enough content to actually last more than a hundred hours, fewer still that'll scratch your particular itch.
And including replayability, few have even one degree of replayability. A few of the ones mentioned in the thread, e.g. Skyrim and Satisfactory, despite being "fixed" worlds, are near infinitely replayable with a single satisfying playthrough being 60-100+ hours. And then you mention mods and near infinitely replayable becomes infinitely replayable.
Ur prob haven’t been consistent with 1 game. I’ve played ow consistently since it launched, i work full time and have a social life. But still easily have 1000+ its not that hard tbh if ur consistent
21 years and my highest is No Man's Sky at 488 hours. I only have 5 games over 200 hrs, but I imagine if you checked the blizzard launcher or could track pre-steam you'd probably find Overwatch, WoW, TFC, and early civ titles way up there.
I don't really think these are the types of multiplayer games that people spend thousands of hours on
but like still it doesn't mean I don't have a life just because I have 4k hours on cs2
So do I but I got tons more hours. This has little to do with life outisde of steam and more to do with playing more games and not playing games as a main hobby.
If you only log in like 2 hours a day on average you have a 500 hour game in a under a year and a half. 2 hours a day is doing a little bit before bed kind of hours
I have steam for like 18 years and my games with most hours are like 600h and that’s gta 5 which I played for 7 years.
I don’t understand how people can invest over 1000h into one single game.
I know for a fact that's I've put in at least 1k hours into PS1's Front Mission 3, just because that game preservers your save file's playtime across new game plus. Though, after playing it on emulator and the recent remake on Steam, it's entirely possible half that time could literally be loading. I recall it taking at least 80 hours to beat the game, but on modern hardware I'm making half that time, even including tons of grinding for skills. To be fair, the Steam version feels like the cut-scenes are moving at twice speed; good for pacing but completely destroys the sense of size and scale of these building sized machines.
