Personally, apparently 71% of my gaming time was spent on FFXIV. Although in my defense, most games I’ve played this year were on GOG or old free stuff from Epic I finally got around to.

I did a pretty good job at keeping myself from buying games this year, but I also barely played 😔

My chart shows an emphasis on zombies and typing. I don’t know how to interpret that other than we need a new Typing of the Dead.

It’s interesting that across the board, games released this year barely account for 9% of what people typically played.

Remember that a huge number of Steam accounts exclusively play Free to Play games and spend no money at all. 6 of the Top 10 Most Played on Steam right now are F2P games and only one is from this year.

A lot of people stick with ongoing/live service games as their main mode of play. FFXIV is the majority of my playtime, with Baldur’s Gate 3 really being the only “this year” game I’ve played to a great extent.

Also plugging the Patient Gamers crowd that I find myself aligning more strongly with over time. Waiting to pick up games when they go on sale is not only easier on the wallet, but it is also a better experience overall with way too many developers these days releasing products on a “ship now, fix later” mindset.

I’m in that 9%. I played 40 different games. 21 of them were released in 2023. 83% of my total playtime was in games released this year. Most of that time was specifically in BG3.

I’ve got a 25 year backlog of games to play, no need to play any new ones for a while!

I’ll be the guy who enjoyed this.

Beautiful hourglass pattern as I changed over from one time sink to another. Kinda neat.
