I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.

    In a year I had over 200 DAYS played on World of Warcraft back in 2005-2006. That’s over 13 hours a day, then I quit abruptly and later tried a couple of expansions casually.

    Second is probably Counter-Strike 1.#.

    The above two I don’t regret spending my time in. Made a lot of friends and it all felt rewarding.

    Then there are games like Civilization, Rimworld, Tropico and even Path of Exile. These games are not really rewarding, other than little dopamine hits that gets you continuing playing forever.

      Another WoW addict checking in. I was somewhere north of 12,000 hours from release to the end of Wrath with another stint during Classic.

      I’ve since quit with no intention of ever returning. Despite how much I loved the game it doesn’t love me back, and it’s better if I don’t play at all.

        It was so easy to spend time in early WoW. The community was awesome before all the sharding and LFG/LFR tooling!

      It’s undoubtedly WoW for me too, but I don’t know how many hours. I wish there was a way to check without re-subscribing.

      If it ever gets added to Xbox Game Pass I’ll probably give it another whirl.
