I have like 3700 hours in factorio, but I also leave it running when I’m not around… like an idle game

Leaving *Commandos" on pause when I don't play racks up hours it seems 🤷🏼‍♀️

Rust can take while to load. I swear a few hundred of those hours were AFK.

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.

When you find that one game that you love that also has infinite replayability. Four years later your likely to have thousands of hours if you play it everyday.

Some like a game enough to play it for years. I wasn’t one, until I found an obscure racing combat game called “OnRush”, and have over 3700 hours in it. Can’t even get it on the PS Store anymore, but I still play it drunk now and again.

It's fine

Got almost 5k hours between the two Ark games. About 4k of those are me playing by myself lmao

Dunno what it is but I fucking love that game

My max is csgo with 600 hrs and I'm still trash at it.

Factorio enters chat.

You just got to find the right game that will ruin your life.

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

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.

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.

Idle games

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

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...

I love Souls games and have played the shit out of every single one; but they average 300-500 hours of total playtime.
