I wouldn't have been surprised if it was only 10% due to the massive backlog available.

Edit: Just checked and my playtime for 2025 games was 2% which is probably lower than last year as the top two games this year were my same two top games from last year.

Yeah, I'd be more curious about the past three years combined. I know several friends still playing BG3 because they haven't had time to finish it. As backlogs grow I feel like this will only become more common.

Eh, yeah, only 14%? 2025 is just one year, and there are so many good choices already. Decades of masterpieces often on sale for 5,- vs 1 year of games yet to prove themselves. Last year was about 15%, 2023 9% and 2022 about 17%, going on the previous replays. so i guess in that context you could say 'only' 14%.
