Ironically, SonixLegend's favorite game isn't even one that counts toward their record-setting badge. The user's Steam profile page lists 551 hours spent playing Valve's 2010 free-to-play overhead shooter Alien Swarm. In a way, it's nice to know that, even with access to nearly every paid modern PC game in existence, the one game this user keeps coming back to is a 15-year-old title that doesn't cost a penny

I bet 99% of it is just shovelware

I guess you didn't read the article where they say this platform actually doesn't track. Shovelware, that doesn't reach broad appeal

"own" I thought we were just licensing them?

[-] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 32 points 5 days ago

He only plays 4 of them though

[-] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 2 points 4 days ago

Has their playtime privated so of course.

[-] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 days ago

I'd rather not
