Common questions on Steam, surfaced from across the indexed web.

What is the highest number of hours you have in any given game, according to Steam?

This is the first one I wanted to look up, because I'm sure everyone's like "What's my embarrassing [number]?". Well, maybe not everyone has this reaction. I'm having this reaction because my most played game is Dota 2 by magnitudes. I'll tell you my number. Hours played, 2,101. My second-place game is Divinity: Original Sin 2, at only 241. I will say, though, that I played a lot of Overwatch before it was on Steam. And Final Fantasy 11, when I was a teenager, I was a seriously hardcore player of that game. I started playing [Dota 2] in my early relationship with my now-husband, who also loves

What was the previous game you played, and is it still installed?

So I've been playing Angeline Era on Steam Deck, and it's beautiful on Steam Deck … the last game I finished on the Steam Deck was Scarlet Hollow, and it is still installed.

I honestly can't think of anything that compares to it, except for maybe Christine Love's work. [It's] the ki

There's one game Don't Nod narrative designer Nina Freeman won't ever uninstall from her PC, because it's banned on Steam: 'It's tragic, because everyone should play this game'
What game will you never, ever uninstall?

Devotion, by Red Candle Games. The backstory is what people always say first, but before I say it, it is one of my probably top five favourite games of all time. One of the best horror games ever made, in my opinion. It's a game about a father, a family unit with a focus on the father and his relationship with his daughter, who is ill, and the family struggle that happens around this situation and his relationship to religion. It's so good, but the big-real life story of this game is that, when it came out, it was swiftly banned on Steam because there was a meme in it, that evidently was shipp
