Minecraft. I spent a lot of time on it, especially when playing with friends on my server.
Must be Civ IV - that whole series makes you lose track of time - start a game and that's the whole weekend gone; even now Civ IV with the Realism Invictus mod feels like it's got tonnes of gameplay still left in it for me.
That said, OpenTTD has been an enduring favourite of mine for the past few years and because of its flexibility it might surpass it in the long-term.
World of warcraft. Still true. I only played up through Crusade even. But it ate literally dozens of days of my life. I wouldn't say I regret that, as it was a learning experience for me. But I would definitely not have played wow if I could go back.
Parent here, very badly envious of all y'all's numbers.
(but in my pre-kid days I'm sure I put in at least 300 hours on the pre-Steam version of Dwarf Fortress)
Minecraft. I don't know how many hours, but I bought it before nether portals were a thing and I've been playing it ever since. Sometimes a game just clicks for you.
What do you even have left to do in Minecraft at this point? Not asking to be rude, but as an ADHD guy I actually can't imagine playing a game that much!
I probably spent the most time in Red Dead Redemption 2 or ARK, but that's because I went for 100% completion and there were always things to do for me. Once I completed the games (about 400 hours each), I was over it.
Modpacks. There are hundreds. And probably tens of thousands of mods. You can easily make your own modpacks nowadays, using a launcher and config editor.
It's been so long since I've played the vanilla version, I haven't seen any content from the last few updates. I've started a vanilla world just to explore them.
