Hot Top New Old

Ironically, SonixLegend’s favorite game isn’t even one that counts toward their record-setting badge. The user’s Steam profile page lists 551 hours spent playing Valve’s 2010 free-to-play overhead shooter *Alien Swarm*. In a way, it’s nice to know that, even with access to nearly every paid modern PC game in existence, the one game this user keeps coming back to is a 15-year-old title that doesn’t cost a penny

Is that a lot of hours for a single game though?

I have a few which are >1000, which makes me think that this huy is putting in plenty of time on tonnes of different games too.

Maybe i’m just an outlier though..

I guess you didn’t read the article where they say this platform actually doesn’t track. Shovelware, that doesn’t reach broad appeal
