Hello PC Gaming community.

With this post I kind of want to poll the Steam gamers here; how important are your or your friends’ Steam stats to you?

By that, I mean total playtime, badges, level, number of achievements etc.

For exemple, I have a colleague that keeps boasting about his playtime and expertise on a particular game (which is over 3000 hours). However, whenever I log in Steam, he’s always online running that game (even when he’s actually at work). I have trouble grasping the utility of artificially inflating your numbers if you only played the game for maybe 10% of that amount.

Thanks in advance!

    Are you sure he’s not playing at work as well? Stats are cool, but it doesn’t really matter to me or my friends.

      He’s a doctor in an ICU unit. Our job just doesn’t let us play at work (and it’s a good thing).

      Thanks for your answer!
