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?

Depends some games like Miitopia, Mario Kart 8D, Monster Sanctuary or modding Dawn of War Dark Crusade I've play a lot of hours cause of giving me tools for me to be creative or easily distract myself when my mind is fried, replayabily while being able to play differently or just being able to mod and rebalance the game.

Some of my favourite games are short like Wandersong and the Steamworld Games

Some of the games i play a long time also give me idea of games i'll never make

Some games i know i could of played a lot of hours i don't cause of isolation and that online doesn't fill the hole of local play so now i don't play online games even if i'm interested in them or like playing them.
