WOS: Anyone noticed all the hacked Steam Hours??

365 days * 24 hours = 8760 hours in a year.
Your point still stands though.

Well, the only thing I can say is that I noticed that steam counts every running game while you are online. So having multiple games running in the background gives you hours for all those games...

Noticed the background timing by accident after minimizing a game and then forgetting it there when i went to bed... after that I of cause had to test it with more then one game, and that works as well. But I'm not all that interested in racking up playing hours so I never really tried to use it to blow up stats...

Top dude has 29 years worth of hours total, and only been with steam for 2 years.. Yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa.

...........All I want for Christmas............is Steam to count my offline hours.

The kind of people that do it are no lifers who thinks that it means something.

So what ?

It's not like Steam has ever managed to record my playing time correctly. Or that our time works the same as Valve time.

I'm #17,476 by hours played, yay. No really YAY.

Rank #34943 - yay for not caring :D

Piece of cake.
1) Download Steam Achievement Manager
2) Start it bazillion times
3) Run various games (some guides say same game also works)
4) Wait
5) ...
6) Profit

You could start various games just in Steam too, but some don't like alt+tabbing while others don't like being run along (especially source games, they like to be exclusives).

is ranked #7745 By hours played

you are not rank 23194124, you are rank #33102

I did find that running two games simultaneously gives you double time.

I also found that my e-peen is tiny and I need more hours played.

multiple games running at the same time

edit: probably still doesn't add up to that huge number, i guess

Don't let these thigs piss you. I once saw a guy on Raptr bragging about his #1 spot on Bioshock Infinite, explicitly saying that he left the game running since he got it... A truly impressive achievement -.-

I dont get it. Why does anyone care about how many hours others have on their steam profiles?

where can i see my total gaming time?

The fact that there are only 8,765 hours in a year and I managed to spend over 1,350 recorded hours playing Oblivion just hit home with me... Crazy stuff.

SAM lets you change the playtime in certain games. Not sure if it reflects back on your Total Play Time, but games like And Yet It Moves do have it under the statistics tab.

Dayum, I have over 600 hours logged on garrys mod. I need a life :c

who cares for hours you played a game?
Tbh, if a game is fun and short, it is still fun, if a game is long and meh it is still meh. That does not matter. So why care about hours?

Steam playing time is bugged. I have hours and hours on games I barely played

It could be unintentional. I've had my Dishonored playtime showing up as over 2 million hours before, and I didn't do anything to set it to that.

People can run multiple games at once. I do it frequently for card drops.

where can i see my total gaming time?

Some time ago I saw one person wrote that he starts a game, change Windows Time to some years to the future and close the game. I dont know if it works yet and I will not risk trying.
