> The top 2 currently most played games were first released ten years ago. If that's the state of gaming then that's a damning indictment of the last 10 years of gaming releases. The card game that I play the most with my friends is Skat, a 150-year-old German card game. If that's the state of card gaming, then that's a damning indictment of the last 150 years of card gaming releases. Snark aside, your comment is missing the point that raw playtime is not the mark of an impactful game. Some of the most memorable games can be really short to medium length with little replayability (like Journey at 2 hours, Superliminal at 2-3 hours, or Outer Wilds at 25-30 hours). Compared to that, a competitive multiplayer game like CS:GO (or Skat, see above) has near infinite replayability, so it's easy for a single player to rack up 1000s of hours of playtime.
