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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Only 8 games played this year, 3 new games bought. Grown up kinda sucks.

You’ve had the opportunity to play almost half of all the games you’ve bought this year, with Christmas round the corner to add to that tally.

That’s a pretty good record, all things considered!

I’ll be the guy who enjoyed this.

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