If it was a game you'd consider refunding it would be very relevant.

Honestly Om more pissed with devices that you can put into sleep mode and a game STILL racks up hours because they didnt develop it with that in mind. >_>

im pissed that games stopped tracking stats in recent years. it's fucking annoying. I want to know how many coins ive collected, enemies defeated, levels cleared, time played, etc etc in mario.

such a joke that stats screens are just a given in every game.

Personally I couldn't give two shits about anyone bitching about the hours I spent on a video game. I leave my games on all night all the time.

Why does it matter?

Just saying don't let someone ruin your fun over something trivial as hours spent on a game....

You can only refund a game on Steam if you have <2 hours on it.

Id more blame it on the game depending on circumstances since again you leave your PC on thats all on you but if a game racks up hours on a system that has a dedicated sleep mode to it thats on the developers.

Quite frankly I'd rather not know how many hours of my life I've wasted on each game I play but I'm just weird like that (looks at "1,548.3 hours" on Bit Heroes)
