    Think I have something like 16k hours across all my PC games, with EU5 having the most at ~1.7k, I’ll never understand how someone can have more than 10k in one game.

      Some people are afraid of trying new things. And they also don’t mind doing the exact same thing over and over.

      So they play repetitive games like Call Of Duty, Rocket League, LoL, Dota, Counter Strike, … where every match is the same gameplay. And they don’t get bored, even after 10k hours.

      If they were to play Terraria, they would be the ones mining the entire map as a “challenge”

        PvP is inherently not repetitive due to the fact you will be interacting with many many different people over your gameplay sessions. And people are random, inconsistent, and weird.

        Also, some people like honing a particular skill. It’s not really about being afraid to try new things, but rather trying to be better at one thing.

      My most played games like Terraria are well under 1K. Even this was before I become a parent and started working full-time.

      These days if I put more than 50 hours into a game its considered a lot. I just finished the Oblivion Remastered and literally this was the only game I played for many weeks, with a playtime of ~45 hours.

      I can’t imagine playing something for 10K hours.
