"A new study found that Steam players who have spent more than 200 hours on a game are more likely to leave a negative review.
Negative reviews are common among players with less than two hours of playtime, then dropped for players with two to 200 hours.
About 29,300 reviews came from players with 200-plus hours who still had negative feelings about the game, with averaged around 976 hours played.
41.64% of these reviews are still marked as recommended on Steam." When I saw this, I was like, "This is what I would expect to happen," because those who play for a short period and stop are those who have not liked the game.
I'm gonna tell people about it." If you're playing between two and 200 hours, you've played likely over a short period, the game hasn't changed over that period, and you've started playing, enjoyed yourself, and then left.
But if you've played over 200 hours, the longer you play, the more likely it is that that game's gonna change, and potentially change in a way that you don't like.
It's, it's a new expansion, it's a new update, it's a new DLC, whatever, and then the game's terrible.
And then you go, "Screw this game," because you're gonna be one of the people who cares.
You've been playing for long enough that you have a strong opinion about the game, and so you're gonna express it when things go bad.
