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.

For perspective, that's like 6 years of full-time employment. I am equal parts impressed and horrified.

At the very least, that game has cost you over USD 87,000 in those six years in terms of money not earned. (assuming 12,000 hours of minimum wage work).

Yeah but we work to live, not the other way round. Apart from it being about the only way to get a trickle of money coming in, the time spent digging someone else's ditch is the wasted time, not the fun times we have from spending the money.
