109

I haven't stopped playing Overwatch since it came out, still getting on with friends 2 or 3 nights a week and putting in a few hours (and I'm still awful lol). I also still log on to Battlefield 1943 from time to time to get in a few matches.

I also collect retro games so there is a good bit of time there. If anything I've struggled to find new games that I'd want to play more than something older and cheaper. I just picked up Dark Messiah for like 2 bucks and its amazing, hard to justify a $60-70 purchase when you can find deals like that on older but still great games.

I saw a lot of the playtime goes to still updated online games like Fortnite and Apex, but I wonder if part of it is that as time goes on there is a bigger pool of games to play. Sure there will always be cutting edge graphics and gameplay, but many people wouldnt be able to tell which indie dropped in 2010 and which dropped in 2024.

For me it's more like 95% or more. In the last year I've played

  • Factorio (heavily)
  • Halflife
  • Halflife 2
  • Portal 2
  • Supreme Commander
  • Rimworld
  • World of Goo
  • Untitled Goose Game
  • Railway Empire

I don't think I've played many games that are younger than 6 years.

Most of the good games have been made already
