This graph contains some interresting stats. 36.9% of games are never played, while 17% is played less than 1 hour. This is what happens when games cost less than a song (thank you based humble bundle and holiday sales)   :lol:  I can certainly relate to this graph, although games i have never even installed make up over 50% of my library. Kinda sad really   I am apparently a herder...

I'm doing my best to contribute to that percentage every Steam Sale that comes.

This does not shock me but I am doing everything on my end to start playing all my games more often. I finally over the last 6 months maybe more have gotten back to enjoying gaming and all my games will be played for over an hour before the end of the summer for sure. Thanks KakaoDj for providing this article.

[JupiteL]

Yup, humble bundle is the main cause.

[nosirrah123]

lol my graph is much worse than that

[roberto++]

I blame humble bundles for my lack of game play, so many games for just $5 USD.

[Cacao]

My line of thinking: Fallout New Vegas only 2$? Well I'm sure one day when I'll have no internet for a while that'll be the perfect game to keep me busy. 

 

Some say he is still waiting for that day...

[DeViLzzz]

Humble Bundles, GMG, GamersGate, various seasonal Steam sales, Amazon.com and more plus me not playing enough games for years = many games of mine played too little.

I have bought TONS of games off steam even when i have the disc version, on a shelf, next to the chair I sit in, just because it was like 80% off

 

Also yeah bundles, sometimes they are games I already own/have played/dont really like

[Misanthrope]

*Takes a look at his steam list*

 

- Modern Warfare 2 - 178 hours

- Borderlands - 24 hours

- Deus Ex Human Revolution - 23 hours

- Just Cause 2 - 23 hours

- Two worlds II - 3 hours

- The Witcher II - 14 hours

- Skyrim - 821 hours

- Like 20 other games - 0 hours

 

Yep, on average it sounds about right.

It's usually that I buy a bundle for 1 game and 7 useless games comes with the few bucks I pay for it.

[Paralectic]

Thanks Humble Bundle, Indie Gala, Bundle Stars and alot of game-packs and Steam sales.

[Erik4boss]

I've only installed and played half of my steam games.

[Kamina]

It's because we spoil ourselves and then we forget to appreciate our games. 

[daemonowner]

1 game for >1400h

2 games for >300h

1 game for >200h

4 games for >100h

4 games for >10h

9 games for <10h (including crap I didn't pay for and don't care about, like Dota2 Test and Magicka Wizard Wars which I guess is only in my Library because of a sale. I didn't add it, never played Magicka.)

 

There are only 2 games I bought individually that I played for less than 10hours. The others were free or came with other games I played the crap out of.

 

Yeah, I must be in the minority here.

[Askew]

Some say

 

[linusforsell]

I think 90% of my steam library was never even installed... heh.

[Grave]

Can't be helped when they greenlight a shitload of terrible games and there are plenty of ultra-cheap/free games. On top of that, many games created are a play once and dump sort of thing. I can only thank Bethesda and games w/strong online multiplayer for anything beyond ~15-20 hours.

I promise you F:NV is worth playing through, rainy day or no.  I hated it upon launch due to all the bugs and I found the opening quests to be dull.  But I went back to it 6 months later and from then on it became one of the best RPG worlds I've ever experienced.

[AlexGoesHigh]

Yeah, I have a bunch of crap on my steam to, though I at least launch them and play for like 5 mins, if its worth the time I can waste on something I may enjoy more

[Blackterror25]

contributed to the 54%

[LePawel]

-nom-

Yeah, MW2 around 800, skyrim and borderlands 2 around 80...

Hell, my Game dev tycoon has more hours than all bioshocks combined...

And my counterstrike is shown in minutes

[totjup5]

I've only launched 37% of my games according to steam calculator.
