60 Percent Of Playtime In 2023 Went To 6-Year-Old Or Older Games, New Data Shows in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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.

Do not buy inkjet printers, it is a scam! I dumped mine long ago even with after market ink, it is just a hassle to upkeep it.

GOG, buy music in mp3/flac format, not sure about video. I guess you can pay for subscription and just pirate stuff you like to keep real ownership.
