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?

What I enjoy about CS is everyone starts back from the same level on each map in terms of loadout and budget. Yet every game is different in one way or another, with different people in matchmaking or even different macro or micro decisions by familiar players. So even playing the same 5 maps means they are different each time you play. It's why I've been playing CS since 1.0 and have logged just shy of 2000 hrs in CSGO. I can't remember how many hours I have played of CS in the pre-Steam era but it used to be 4-5 hour stints I reckon. Now I play 1-3 hours or so max, and that only 1 or 2 times a week.
