I used to play TF2 at least 2 hours a day from 2011-2013.

These days, I occasionally boot up Overwatch for an hour or two, but until I upgrade my GPU, I'm mainly gaming on PS4 and Switch.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I can't choose any of the above, I only use it to play a game that I don't own on any console, that includes the classics also
Last month I was playing an old one on my PC and I spent almost 2-3 hours a day until I finished it, but it will take me a long time until I pick another, months maybe, I am console / handheld player, my play time on PC is limited

That wildly fluctuates on mood and game availability. Couldn't even give you a weekly average. I'm sure there have been weeks where I didn't play at all. Let's just say I'm getting my money's worth.

It varies heavily, I haven't played on it in over a week right now but if I'm in the mood for some RTS/4X/arcade/Elder Scrolls games then it goes up to 10 hours a week.

Back when I used to play online shooters and MMOs it used to be at least 3-4 hours each day but I don't play those anymore. On top of that, I've become a lot more picky over the games I play so I probably only play like 5% of the game in my Steam library and the rest I pretend they don't exist.                                       

I feel I get like that at times myself. Sometimes there will be a week where I'm busy with work, that when I arrive at home, I'm cooking dinner and watching/catching up on some old/new shows. Sometimes the following evening I might play a game for a efw hours, but I'm also that type that does need to egt in the mood to play specific games. 

I just recently started playing Elder Scrolls online since I got a cheap physical deal on the Gold edition, so I'm playing that for around 2 hours a night with BF1 taking an hr or two as well.

Yeah, I feel that way too, there's simply too many distractions and not enough time. I kind of miss playing some MMOs but I would have to make some compromises such as, quitting playing the games I like to play now, for them.

I feel that as we get older, we gain more responsibilities, having to work more and even provide for a growing family, those sort of things can really dig into and disrupt our gaming time.

For games like Guild of dungeoneering or Tharis?
Probably 10 hours max.

For any other games? 0.

I don't care for Keyboard/mouse gaming. And my PC isn't set up to be connected to the TV for a bigger screen, or be situated where I can sit back and lazy about like with consoles.

Sounds like you've forced your PC gaming into a situation where it'll never advance nor win tbh.

I've got a desk for my TV, with my desktop and monitor included, so if I ever want to sit back on the bed and game from a distance, I can do just that with my gamepad and the TV.

Pretty much my situation, along with some Steam backlog.

Most of the time, but less because of the Switch for now.

I used to regularly upgrade my PC and play, but I haven't used my PC for gaming for around two years. I haven't even powered on my rig for > 1 year, as using laptops and mobile covers all my non-gaming use. It's been all PS4, XB1 & WiiU for my gaming.  Mainly I just like lounging on my sofa and gaming on 75" screen with surround sound, than sitting at my PC.

never.
0 hours.

It depends. I play every game I can on PC and I play about 25-40 hours a week.
I haven´t played much on PC yet this year though, it´s been only ps4 so far.
I will play the witcher 3 dlc after I´m done with Horizon and GR2 dlc, I think.
