I think this video showcases an interesting aspect of gaming that I never really thought about before. In their case, they play more games for a shorter amount of time vs spending a large portion of their time in few games.

Personally I’m on the side of spending more of my time in a select number of games. By far I have put no less then 3000-4000 hours in Minecraft. Logged by Steam, I got 1300+ hours in both GTA V and American Truck Simulator

More recently I’ve been really into Rocket League and Trackmania. These games are notable because I am constantly working to improve and get better at the game. As much replay-ability as much I find enjoyment in succeeding.

From time to time though, I do really enjoy getting into shorter, more story based games. Great examples being Portal 2, Road96, and Firewatch. What kind of gamer are you?

    It really depends on the game, games like pokemon, ck3, ffxiv, wow, minecraft, and the elder scrolls, stardew valley, animal crossig etc I put a few hundred to 1000 hours in and I play them on and off throughout the year. Other games I play once and then maybe again in a few years if I liked it. It really depends. games I play for a long time need to be games I don’t feel bad for NOT playing for a long time.

    But I am someone who always kinda has her own little story about the character I am playing while I play, so it’s always something new when I decide to make another playthrough. And which is why CK3 is the most dangerous timesink for me because you don’t just play one character
