I think this video showcases an interesting aspect of gaming that I never really thought about before. In their case, they play more games for a shorter amount of time vs spending a large portion of their time in few games.

Personally I'm on the side of spending more of my time in a select number of games. By far I have put no less then 3000-4000 hours in Minecraft. Logged by Steam, I got 1300+ hours in both GTA V and American Truck Simulator

More recently I've been really into Rocket League and Trackmania. These games are notable because I am constantly working to improve and get better at the game. As much replay-ability as much I find enjoyment in succeeding.

From time to time though, I do really enjoy getting into shorter, more story based games. Great examples being Portal 2, Road96, and Firewatch. What kind of gamer are you?

I noticed I have a really sharp motivation drop after ~300h that is usually the point where i would say I am competent in a game and would need to put a lot of effort into to bocome better and reach the top ranks. And that is just not worth it for me. I mostly enjoy learning a game, figuring stuff out on my own is a large part of my enjoyment. I only have two games on steam with 500+ hours and those are Factorio and Stellaris. Factorio just took me a longer time to get bored of. Stellaris I usually play in ~30h bursts twice a year after a new dlc drops and changes the game completely. So everytime is a new game to learn which I really like.
