I was looking at my playtime for some games and realized I have over 450 hours in PlanetSide 2.
I've been wanting to find a new game to sink some hours into so I'm curious what Lemmy plays the most.
If you want to go waaaay back before there was even time tracking, it would no doubt be Maplestory and Warcraft 3.
For games I can provide concrete numbers for, it's Anno 1800 at nearly 500 hours, Stardew Valley at over 400, and Rocket League at nearly 300.
skyrim, 307 hours
Wurm Online must have been the one I sunk the most time into. Hey! Thanks for reminding me Planetside 2 exists!
Minecraft and some of the Touhou games (I haven't been keeping up with the newer ones). I don't have those getting time tracked on Steam. Stardew Valley is the next most-played, and my highest played on Steam.
I also sank SO MUCH time into Nintendogs as a kid I think it is worth a mention.
If idle games count, PokéClicker.
Terraria, 480 hours. Every time Im done with the game a new major update comes out and I start a new playthrough.
On Steam... CS2 + CS:GO is probably at the top. I used to compete in league play. Practice, scrims, and matches and all that.
2nd is CS:S despite my last real session being 12 years ago, but that may be soon toppled by Elden Ring or 7 Days to Die.
Who knows how much time I've spent in LoL or WoW but I'm sure it's in the "several thousand hours" magnitude for each.
Add ~1800 hours of LoL and ~800 hours of Minecraft
I have not touched LoL and TF2 for years, and only play dota and Warframe sporadically now. I'd still recommend all of them except LoL though.
Over 700 hours in Skyrim. I don't know how that happened as it's not my usual game type. I usually go for shooters like Half-life or Serious Sam,b or puzzles like Portal or Talos Principle.
My games with over 1k hours (approximately):
Skyrim - 5,300
HITMAN - 1,350
Forza Motorsport 6 - 1,200
Other games with > 400 hours: Fallout 4 (mostly modding), Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Oblivion, all the Bungie Halo games, Red Dead Redemption 2, Battlefield 4, Minecraft, Dark Souls III, Elden Ring

No idea what Steam has to say, but I've played more games for longer than Steam has been around, so here's a guess of mine in no particular order:
I’ve spent a lot of time on the XCOM games. Installed 2 recently and having almost as much fun as the first time (this is like the 10th).
I’ve tried Risk of Rain 2 a few times. Like the comment I left about Rim World below, it just doesn’t click with me and I love shooters. Wondering what I’m missing that everyone else sees.
Assetto Corsa (in VR). Civilization was mostly my ex-wife. eFootball PES is kind of a weird one, but it has really great mods that have now been spun off into a totally free singleplayer game called SP Football Life.
Resonite :3
Don't have a number for it since I have it on itch.io, but I've put a lot of time into Celeste. Beating everything twice (including b-sides, c-sides, and farewell) took a while, but I've also put a bunch of time into the amazing mods it has, like Strawberry Jam and Glyph.
I have like 2500 hours in destiny 2. ☹️
Dota, 9,000+ hours. I don't play it anymore though, toxic af
I now mostly play Path of Exile and World of Warships
Hearts of Iron 4 at 1200 hours, Crusader Kings 2 at 1000 hours, Terraria at 600, Team Fortress 2 at 300 hours.
Also Rimworld should be somewhere at the 500 mark, but a lot of my hours weren't recorded on Steam (I have bought the game now though).
Your mother (and I) play Counter-Strike 1.6
On Steam*:
Not counting idle games, which have an artificially inflated playtime:
*Not counting games on other platforms (minecraft) or games obtained through extralegal means (spacewar!)
**Also most recently played
Blockland... played a lot, for years. Before Minecraft, before it came to steam. It turned me onto Tribes.
2k in tf2
Best war themed hat simulator on the market
The Long Dark, I start a new sandbox every winter. 650+ hrs. I have other games I played for much longer but haven’t played them lately.
EverQuest has about four years sunk into it back in 99. If we're talking steam, it's probably TF2 with about 1400 hours
I've played a little bit of Warframe...
