This player has spent a quarter of his time playing GTA Online
The calls games as a service They are the great hour-eaters in the industry, games in which users invest hundreds of hours and whose mechanics reward that commitment of time with the game in the form of rewards. Of all of them, perhaps one of the most popular and influential today is GTA Online, a real economic engine for Rockstar that shows no signs of getting tired, despite the years. It is difficult to predict an end to GTA Online when there are players who invest more than 18,000 hours of his life playing the game.
An innocent post on Reddit for completing a GTA Online milestone has gone viral for something totally different from the purpose of the publication, what has caught the community’s attention the most is the game time that this user accumulates. More than two years of game accumulated, which adds up to more than 18,000 hours.
A lifetime dedicated to GTA Online
This is Jamcar70’s Reddit post, where the user shared a profile photo showing himself proud of having reached the goal of accumulate billions of money within the game, although what most caught the attention of the rest of the users was the accumulated hours of play that it has been. The system marks 2 years, 34 days and 4 hours, which makes a total of 18,340 hours of play. An incredibly high number if we take into account when the Rockstar game was released.
As a user points out in the comments, taking into account that GTA Online was released on October 1, 2013, a total of 2,282 days ago, with 764 days of play, this player has invested in GTA Online 26.5% of his life in the last 9 years. A figure that would be just as impressive if we weren’t talking about video games and were an athlete who has spent all that time training.
At the moment it is not very clear what will happen to GTA Online in the short or medium term, when GTA VI finally arrives in stores, but it is to be hoped that Rockstar is also working on a generational change for its veteran online bet. Let’s hope the recent GTA VI leak doesn’t delay the company’s plans.
