At first I thought "hey, patient gaming is taking off" when I read this headline, but really, what it's saying is that people are spending most of their time on evergreen live service titles like Fortnite. Ugh.

As a gamer since early 90s I decided to look through my played games list of at least 256 games, avg year of the game release is 2005, oldest I've played is from 1981 and newest is 2023. By the decades:

  • 80s - 10 games (actually more but I did not record them all)
  • 90s - 51 games
  • 2000s - 113 games
  • 2010s - 72 games
  • 2020s - 10 games

About play time... I play mostly pre2020 stuff, mostly minecraft (lol) and playing all the good classic stuff I've missed since 3d era, finished Thief 1/2 recently. I actually trying to find something new I like since I bought decent gpu, but it is hard... I don't care about Fortnite/Overwatch/CS2 (CS 1.x + bots/Source ftw)/AnyGameWithLargeSword. Meme about buying $ XXX gpu just to play Terraria is real.
