I think expecting 1-2k hours from any static game is nuts. I have put 600 into GD but it has taken a decade to accumulate that much.

I know there are exceptions for things like MMOs and games that do season refreshes but GD was never that game.

Edit: Oh that reminds me...update on my buddy...

Shit that's over 700 days or roughly 2.13 YEARS he's spent playing PoE. If he's 40, he's spent 5% of his life literally playing PoE.

He has just been playing it for ten years and works an overnight on-call shift from home. If he doesn’t get a call he isn’t doing anything so he just plays it as if it were his full time job. He also plays on his free time.

I just did the math, that's an average of 5.5 hours a day since release on Oct 13, 2013. Your buddy has a problem, trade bots or not.

Speaking of game addiction, I have a buddy in my neighborhood. He’s in shape. His wife is easily a top 3 MILF in the neighborhood. So he doesn’t smell. Probably.

His wife told mine that over the past year he has racked up $5000 of credit card debt on games. This isn’t counting his gun debt. Holy shit. It’s a lot of day 1 buys of enhanced editions. He rarely finishes the games. He does play a lot. A LOT for someone with 3 kids. I can’t imagine racking up that level of debt in this hobby. All three systems plus a honking ass PC. But she says outside a ps5 the rest was games.

$5000 on actual game purchases or $5000 on gacha/MTX? Cuz it doesn't seem possible to spend $5000 on the former lol.

I've got good news for your friend. Anyone who can spend 18k hours on one single game probably doesn't have ADHD. I also have bad news for your friend. Someone who spends 18k hours on a single game probably has autism.

I think it’s actual games. I was told he got elden ring on at least two systems. I bet $900 was a ps5 bundle. And I wonder if she’s counting his sweet ass monitor that replaced a 2 year old top of the line monitor. I’ll have to find out.

I haven’t said anything but if she’s doesn’t know exactly what the debt is and just is being told games, he’s probably gambling or fucking someone or paying to fuck someone. Definitely not drugs. I know drugs when I see it.

I wouldn’t understand him stepping out. I’m told his wife is still dropping her pants and she’s about as hot as you can get after spitting out three kids and being 34.

For most the game's life it didn't have an afk timer and you could stay logged in for days. I don't think you can anymore but not sure. I feel like i've been logged in afk many hours. Actually with steam even if it logged you out to log in it's still clocked time. That number is horse shit as a metric for time actually played.

I had a friend, kept giving his girlfriend money to help her with school or buy musical Instruments. A ton of money. Around the time they broke up he found out she had been doing tons of cocaine
