I haven’t stopped playing Overwatch since it came out, still getting on with friends 2 or 3 nights a week and putting in a few hours (and I’m still awful lol). I also still log on to Battlefield 1943 from time to time to get in a few matches.

I also collect retro games so there is a good bit of time there. If anything I’ve struggled to find new games that I’d want to play more than something older and cheaper. I just picked up Dark Messiah for like 2 bucks and its amazing, hard to justify a $60-70 purchase when you can find deals like that on older but still great games.

I saw a lot of the playtime goes to still updated online games like Fortnite and Apex, but I wonder if part of it is that as time goes on there is a bigger pool of games to play. Sure there will always be cutting edge graphics and gameplay, but many people wouldnt be able to tell which indie dropped in 2010 and which dropped in 2024.

    The binding of Isaac.

    I probably still drop a few hours a week in this game, been playing since it was written in flash…

      I still go back and pay the flash version. I just miss the old graphics, soundtracks, and my memories of putting insane hours into runs.

        I still play the flash version occasionally as well. I miss damage being linked to tear size & getting ridiculous tears that take up the whole screen, cause a memory leak, and crash the game.
