  1. If the game is 8 years old… how does a S I N G U L A R player have over 200 years of playtime? For a statistics driven article, how did this get the okay?

    Reply

    1. 1,828,395 hours is the total country hours. The 59,347 hours is the highest time played per player (Steam ID).
      59,347 hours equates to under 6.8 years which is less than the age of the game.

      We updated the table by removing total country hours to avoid confusion.
