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?

My longest played game with just slightly over 500 hours is Arma 2 with 577 hours. 100% of that time went into the DayZ mod.

But those games are the exception, most games I play are story based so I have hundreds of games with just 5-30 hours that I finished and moved on.

Like even the games that I really enjoy like Portal 2 I only have 150 hours in, after playing hundreds of community test chambers. (Really recommended by the way, there are some excellent chambers in the workshop)
