I don’t doubt the numbers on this scale, but my personal numbers are absolutely not correct, so it does make me wonder how accurate things are.

There’s some long term bug with Steam in the way they compute playtime. About 4 years ago, I purchased a game, played it once for probably less than an hour and never picked it up again. Steam shows I have played that game for almost 3,000 hours.

This year, similar thing happened, but not to the same extreme. There was a game demo I downloaded, played through the first level (which IIRC was all that was available at the time in that demo), and now it’s showing I played that game for over 100 hours. I probably spent 30 minutes with it at most.

Curious what’s going on there or if anybody else has experienced that? Maybe it’s not a widespread thing, but certainly curious that it’s happened to me twice.
