So apparently, out of my 7,573 hours on Steam, 5,657 of those hours were in games developed by PDX.
That’s 74.69% - basically three-quarters of my Steam gaming spent on a *single* developer.
What this also means is that I have more hours in either EU4 *or* CK3 than I have in *every game not developed by Paradox COMBINED.*
