I have played several games in my Steam library for more hours than it takes to become a police officer.

i've played over 12,000 hours of Fallout 4.
I'll take my PhD now, thx
- Fallout 4 was released 2,985 days ago.
  12,000/2,985 = an average of 4 hours a day, every day, no days off.
  Probably the best value purchase you'll make in your life.

  that’s why, after around 10k hours, I finally paid for it, lol.
  
  Lol jesus
  
  also, it was on sale. GOTY Edition + all DLCs for, like, $15. why not?
  I got more out of that game than anything else I ever pirated (except, maybe, my copies of TNG, DS9, VOY, and all 20 seasons of Law & Order), so I thought: why not pay for it? it was totally worth it!
  
  Dawg how old are you that you've consumed that much content in your life lmao
  
  I’m 44. also, I spent most of my life freelancing/working from home, and, through covid and for a long time afterwards, unemployed— so lots of free time.
  also, I haven’t played it in about a year, although a new Mod, Fallout: London just came out, so I may just kiss a few hundred hours goodbye on that ¯(ツ)_/¯

  12000/(2985-365) = 4.58 hours per day!
  
  I have fallout london open in a new tab on my computer waiting for me to have time to install it and play it. I haven't been this excited for a mod in a long time
  Waiting for skyblivion to be released too, that has been in the works for a while
  
  Isn't London coming out in a few months?
  
  That's what I did with Far Cry 3, but couldn't get the stupid launcher to work on linux, so ended up pirating it again.Great work Ubisoft!
  
  Can I get that in $/hour ?
  
  Hmm, what did it cost at launch? Probably $60?
  6,000 cents / 12,000 hours = 0.5 cents per hour.
  
  wow, that’s value! especially considering I only paid $15 for it on sale a few years ago! I played a pirated version until recently, then eventually paid for it. it was just such an incredible game, it thought: why not?
  
  0.125 cents per hour! A thousand times better value than a movie!
  
  Lots of Netflix hours on that one, I'd bet.
- Here is your theoretical Doctorate of Science.
  
  Thank you, Professor, I humbly accept.
- EA Bethesda only counts microtransactions when advancing your degree
  
  Microsoft doesn't own EA... yet.
- Please tell me you accidentally added an extra 0 when you weren’t meant to…
  
  well… not as a typo…
  covid was rough.
  
  What is there even to do in Fallout 4 to justify even 1,200 hours, much less 12,000?
  
  settlements. between the mods and cheats, you can go pretty fucking crazy.
  and, oh, boy, did i. I’ve pretty much rebuilt the entire commonwealth several times over.
  
  Some mods can really bloat up the game. Tbh, even in vanilla, with all the DLCs... if you want to 100% it, it takes you quite a while. So let's assume OP is a completionist. Then add for example, Sim Settlements 2, all three chapters and Rise of the Commonwealth. That's gonna take you a while to finish, and I'm also going to guess that OP started a new game rather than an existing save every time a new mod and/or chapter was released. On top of that I imagine you'll want to do a Survival run at least once, which can take quite a while. Just to name a few things. :p
  Fallout 4 is just like Skyrim. There are so many mods, there is almost no limit to how much time you spend playing it. And because there are so many mods, you'll always have new things to do.
  
  yeah, a typical vanilla (or even DLC) playthrough is about 40-60 hours. maybe 80 if you really scour. with mods and cheats, I get an average of 200-400 hours out of a playthough.. 600 if I put a lot of wrk into it. technically, one could go on forever, but that’s about the limit I hit before it’s just boring and everything worth doing is done.
  FO4, unlike any other, really allows you to build your own world in the Commonwealth. The mods are amazing.
