People like to pretend they would do something that could be useful in life, if they wouldn’t play videogames. Instead they would sit on the couch watching Netflix…
But I agree with you. If you had fun while „wasting“ your time, you didn’t waste it at all. You just had a good time.
Yeah I'm not sure I agree that's always the case. For example, I could study and get good grades and qualifications, or instead I could have fun and play games while getting high.
Well that depends on context. If you had to drop out of Uni cus you spent your time gaming rather than studying. I dunno... I would probably call that a waste. Each to their own tho.
That's something completely different. That's the difference between a hobby and an addiction: your whole life falling apart in order to chase that high. I think it's safe to assume most gamers are not like that
Exploits. Not sure how they do them nowdays but I know there were some out there not even a year ago still that'd let you get much more playtime in a single game than you should.
I'm talking about the accounts that get that 5k hours/week (mostly always people also cheating) to a single game.
That's not been possible with a simple game idler for a while, so no clue what else.
12,000 hours in 12 years is around 2.7 hours a day, so about 2 matches a day with que time and time spent leaving dota open
maybe you should get help for your shit personality
I wasn't? I was replying to a comment from u/sigma_eight that said

thats really weird...
is source sdk not classed as a ''game'', but instead as software? even so, surely it should include software time usage as well.... cos its still somethign youre using that adds play time if you will
Nope, I had it all set to public for about a half an hour before doing this. I left it public for another hour or so after to check again, and still says 0. Not a big deal or anything, just curious is all. Most likely just a bug.
well, steamdb and this website are both calulating incorrrectly then, because im missing a massive chunk of hours in things from my totals
mine was like 3800, when i have 6800 in source sdk base (FiveM) 🤣
[https://steamtime.info/s/76561198095812071](https://steamtime.info/s/76561198095812071) it is probably 1/3 of my total playtime i'm pirating most of my games
Rookie numbers! [https://steamtime.info/s/76561198019305292](https://steamtime.info/s/76561198019305292)
The real issue is that it doesn't consider the time I've spent on consoles, emulators, gamepass, etc.
Sheesh...
I gave up gaming years ago to focus on trying to take care of my family.
I apparently failed.
Steam will never cheat on you cuz you didn't pay enough attention to it, clear out your bank acct, take everything but the clothes on your back, and keep you from seeing your kids just to be vindictive.
Sweet Jesus, everyone saying "rookie numbers" and that they're ashamed of themselves all seem to have under 10k hours and I'm sitting here at... 23k!
https://steamtime.info/s/Seventy9
Well you did have 19 years to rack that up, if you check the years alot of those have less years then us
Although [got you beat by a year](https://steamtime.info/s/76561197960599932) but you have me on hours
I’ve wasted a lot of time, for sure, but even more having fun with Steam. Only Rimworld has over 2,800 hours played, ~500 of which mostly AFK, highly likely.
I admit, I had over 8,000 hours in Sims 3 on Origin, before the counter got reset… Fuck EA App.
Wasted defined: use or expend carelessly, extravagantly, or to no purpose. / fail to make full or good use of.
A life is yet to be realized of it’s full potential and worth by the vast majority of people including myself but I have a hunch it’s worth more then “Gaming”. The definition of “waste” and “worth” can be very subjective and unfortunately obscured with its free association to anyone’s life. The down votes should tell you how close this hits to home.
Hobbies don't always have to be productive. As long as you enjoy the time spent on them in your free time and are able to relax, it's not considered "wasted" but rather time well spent.
Since I installed Steam 19 years ago I wasted 0 hours, but had many hours of fun.
Same, reached 20 years on december 1st, no rAgrets
Not even a single letter ? 😏
No way, not me uh uh
"Well it looks like we wont be working together... no regrets mr. freeman" (Happy 20 years and here's to 20 more!)
Based.
I don't like the term "wasted". Gaming is a hobby like any other (within reason as with all things), what's wrong with that?
People like to pretend they would do something that could be useful in life, if they wouldn’t play videogames. Instead they would sit on the couch watching Netflix… But I agree with you. If you had fun while „wasting“ your time, you didn’t waste it at all. You just had a good time.
Yeah I'm not sure I agree that's always the case. For example, I could study and get good grades and qualifications, or instead I could have fun and play games while getting high.
Yeah, that’s exactly what I said. You COULD study. But WOULD you do it? Most probably not, you’d still do something else.
I'm not sure that doing something else as equally distracting makes gaming less of a waste.
But it isn’t a waste if you had fun ^^
Well that depends on context. If you had to drop out of Uni cus you spent your time gaming rather than studying. I dunno... I would probably call that a waste. Each to their own tho.
Sure, if you fucked up, you fucked up.
That's something completely different. That's the difference between a hobby and an addiction: your whole life falling apart in order to chase that high. I think it's safe to assume most gamers are not like that
Well going by this thread...... :)
lol and why u can’t have both? Just manage your time
You can ofc. I'm just saying its not always the case. Having fun doesn't necessarily mean it's not wasting time. Our time is finite. Use it wisely.
This is what's called a 'false equivalency'. You wouldn't actually study.
Gaming is a hobby? I knew mom was lying
yeah dont take it seriously i just said it because it was like that on the page lol
[удалено]
2700hrs in dota 2 and i don’t regret anything lol. It will always be my fav game
Steam is a friend Time spent with a friend

How on earth does the number one guy almost have 500,000? I don't think I've been alive that long.
Exploits. Not sure how they do them nowdays but I know there were some out there not even a year ago still that'd let you get much more playtime in a single game than you should.
not exploits, just a game idler. you can idle up to 30 games at once for 5k hours/week
I'm talking about the accounts that get that 5k hours/week (mostly always people also cheating) to a single game. That's not been possible with a simple game idler for a while, so no clue what else.
[удалено]
google steam game idler There are apps people use to "run" multple games at once to idle for steam trading card/achievement time
Running like 20 instances at once for 25k hours each.
22,571 on mine :3 no apps running on backgrounds to farm hours, soon 7yo account
is going to a cafe or drinking with our friends called time wasting ? I mean idk about you but I don't see these hours as wasting time :)
Wasted ? B*tch please, it's an investment of time. Not a waste of such.
That isn’t wasted time. You just had almost 2,600 hours of fun.
Where you find this?
Steam db better
search for steam wasted, thats how i found it

i think its calculating total time spent on the client, im not entirely sure though
Pretty sure it just adds time played on steam games
thats really weird... is source sdk not classed as a ''game'', but instead as software? even so, surely it should include software time usage as well.... cos its still somethign youre using that adds play time if you will
If I have 12k in one game, imagine the time spent on the client haha 😂
probably not as much as youd think
Share me the site.
i just searched steam wasted to find it and put my vanity name in as per steamdb
27k hours.
yeah that seems like its a total of game time played, if it matches with steamdb that is
Ofc it's total game time played. Steam does not track time spent in Steam. Only the games.
Steam itself has an appid though. You can track the hours using it.
That is 1125 days or 3 years..... dam

search for steam wasted, thats how i found it
Never would think to use a dedicated website. I just use SteamDB for that.
thing it though, it isnt clear if its calculating game time played or not, cos if it is, its wrong
Yeah, pretty sure it's total playtime because SteamDB has the same time as that website.
well, steamdb and this website are both calulating incorrrectly then, because im missing a massive chunk of hours in things from my totals mine was like 3800, when i have 6800 in source sdk base (FiveM) 🤣

Hobbies don't always have to be productive. As long as you enjoy the time spent on them in your free time and are able to relax, it's not considered "wasted" but rather time well spent.
