    7.1% of the total hours spent were on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive / Counter-Strike 2
    6.4% were in League of Legends
    6.2% were in Roblox
    5.8% were in Dota 2
    5.4% were in Fortnite

    That is a lot of people playing free-to-play competitive multiplayer games.

      Its the replayability. I mean, look how many people are still playing chess. Stick a human intelligence on the other end of the stick and you’ve pretty much got it figured out.

      I’m playing Counter-Strike 2

      … exclusively on a modded server hosting a Warcraft mod

      … that I found because I was searching for the same thing I played on CS:S over a decade ago

        Apparently I’m old.

        Further down in the thread, I ran into someone talking about an older RPG, Realmz. I dug up a subreddit on Reddit related to the game, and the stickied post had this gem:

        https://old.reddit.com/r/Realmz/comments/qoowgl/assorted_realmz_files_codes_realmz_character/

        These are codes that were reissued by Skip (Aka. SpoonLard). He and my grandfather were the original two collaborators when Skip attempted to carbonize Realmz in 2005.

        Nothing like a comment about someone’s grandfather having tried twenty years ago to modernize a game you’ve played in its original form.

        The amount of times I “finally sit down and watch that new Netflix show I’ve been putting off” and it’s 7 years old. My kid is into “newer Disney stories” I don’t know from my day… that are 25 year old films!
