Some people play games for like a million hours. I'm not one of those people. In this video, I talk about why.If you like the video then consider subscribing...
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?
Most games I play are single-player. And even then, I hardly play videogames anymore these days. I’d probably average about 8-10 hours on a game over the course of a few years, with some outliers like Killing Floor 2 and Dawn of War (this is by far the most time I’ve ever spent playing a game, without 300ish hours across the expansions and mods).
I just generally don’t have the time or energy to invest in playing something. Maybe I’ll play for about 30 minutes before I have the sinking feeling of needing to be more productive.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!
