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?

It really depends on the game and what phase I'm at currently. The games that I can dump hours upon hours on are usually RPGs or have some kind of RPG element to them. I used to spend an insane amount of time on competitive games, but I've grown to avoid them because of how toxic they get eventually, though I still have an itch for them now and then.

Adulthood really decreased my playing time, more than I expected. It's also harder for me to play for long periods without feeling unproductive and questioning what is the point of this..
