Total hours played for all games

A simple addition to steam stats - sum of all games' hours

When running more than one game at a time, each timer goes up. This can cause confusions with the 14-days statistics already. When setting up a total number, I could imagine, that a few users end up with more than 20 years of playtime.

I've seen Steam profiles with more than a thousand hours of gaming in last two weeks.

S.x.

Idle Master idles 30 games at the same time for 2 hours and then do next 30 games. And repeats until there's no more cards to drop.

First time I ran it, I had more than 300 games to idle.
Ended up with two months of playtime in those two weeks

What's the point of this what do they get out of huge hour numbers?

Idle Master drops trading cards.
Side effect is that you get more playtime hours than there's actual hours in two weeks.

People only use Idle Master to get cards, the side effect is a little more hours, there are better programs that idle gaming hours or just leave 32 games running from Steam (if your computer can handle it).

What's the point? Well what's the point on completing a game 100%, getting all achievements and so on? It all comes down to people want too, that's it. There are communities that like to compete against others to see who can get the most.

The beta has a different layout right now. It's under Recommendations. Your post will be outdated like this thread in a short period of time.
