What video game have you played the most, that you think is garbage and no one else should ever play? (lemmy.world)

I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it's a bad game. Don't do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you'll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent's cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

Is that screenshot from this year? ARK came out 2015, so if this person had 2 years of playtime in 2020, then they basically spent 40% of their time every day playing this game. That's 9.6 hours every day!

Or they left it on while they were doing other things.

I hope so! Otherwise that statistic makes me a bit sad. I mean, I love playing games, but spending basically all your free time on a single game for 5 years straight?

(warning: link to reddit) - the thread is ~3 years old, so it sounds like your rough calculations are correct.

I'm just a filthy casual, so I never had the skills to tame high level dinos and stuff, but this game was still such a time suck! And so frustrating yet addictive.
