Petahh what did steam do?

Yupp. Banned a guy for spamming racist crap on a Discord I moderate. DMd me he's a hacker and would get 'revenge'. Kiddo sent a Steam DM from his recently renamed actual account with a fake Steam frontpage linked and wanted me to sign in...to steal my Steam account I guess. Reported it and 24hrs later get an answer that the account was deleted. Felt a bit bad for the kid...he had like 2000hrs on his fav game...

Play stupid games….

[u/oofx99 → u/No_Talk_4836]

He had an entire steam library of games, but he decided to play the stupid game, and thus won his even stupider prize.

Don't. People need to learn that actions have consequences.

[u/fraidei → u/historynutjackson]

Yeah. Also, those 2k hours in a game are not going away. It's not like the kid forgot the enjoyment of those hours.

[u/Commercial_Twist_574 → u/fraidei]

Steam used the neuralyzer from men in black to erase his memories..

[u/OdinThorFathir → u/Commercial_Twist_574]

Poor kid forgot what steam even is

[u/Revayan → u/Commercial_Twist_574]

With the added bonus that he now has an unexplainable longing for something he cant put his finger on

[u/roborectum69 → u/fraidei]

When you have 2k hours in a game, I can assure you those aren't 2000 hours of "enjoyment".

I say this as someone who has over 2k hours in a game.

[u/fraidei → u/roborectum69]

I mean, I have like 2k hours in the entire Borderlands franchise, and at least 70% of those were pure enjoyment.

[u/roborectum69 → u/fraidei]

That's unusual, but more power to you. Typically a single player game has nowhere near 2k hours of stuff to do, so I'm referring to games like CS and DOTA where you're trapped in the loop of trying to grind a meaningless number up season after season

[u/fraidei → u/roborectum69]

Many single player games can have thousands of hours of content. Especially if there are challenges, NG+ (or similar) and more choices to make during a playthrough (so you want to replay the game to see the different choices consequences).

There are tons of single player games where people have hundreds if not thousands of hours. It's not unusual.

[u/roborectum69 → u/fraidei]

There's a big difference between hundreds of hours and >2k. I enjoy getting all the achievements, beating all the difficulty levels etc. That's always been hundreds of hours in my experience but it's a big world with lots of games.

[u/fraidei → u/roborectum69]

There's not much of a difference tbh. It's still a game that is being played much more than just the main story.

If you only played games that are fully completed in hundreds instead of thousands of hours that doesn't mean that games that could be played for thousands of hours don't exist.

[u/roborectum69 → u/fraidei]

Isn't that what I just said?

[u/87997463468634536 → u/roborectum69]

i have five games in my steam library over 2k hours and i didn't feel that way about any of them

maybe only play games you actually like? it's okay to drop games you don't enjoy

[u/roborectum69 → u/87997463468634536]

Haven't played either of those in years but thanks for the tip

[u/Mad_Dizzle → u/roborectum69]

Idk, I have 2k hours in Team Fortress 2 and Europa Universalis IV, I would consider it to be >80% pure enjoyment.

[u/Quaiche → u/roborectum69]

That's a you problem.

Don't put everyone in the same basket as you.

[u/Antique_Resolve_3862 → u/roborectum69]

idk man I have over 3000 hours in hollow knight and most if not all of them were fun

[u/Hjalfnar_HGV → u/fraidei]

Eh. It was War Thunder, and he signed up for the game with his Steam account so any progress through the trees is gone. That HURTS. But yeah...he dug himself a hole and decided to keep digging.

[u/fraidei → u/Hjalfnar_HGV]

The progress is not gone. He just can't progress anymore. But what he did didn't get away from his memory. It's the Sunken Cost Fallacy.

[u/Kaffe-Mumriken → u/Hjalfnar_HGV]

2000 hours? You liberated him

[u/Ippus_21 → u/Hjalfnar_HGV]

I bet his mom was SO pissed when he made her re-purchase the games that went down the tubes with that account...
