How long isDev Guy?

by Daniel Jonathan Bourke

45 minutes

for the typical playerhalf of them between 20 minutes and 1 hour

Over in an evening: half its reviewers had played 45 minutes or less.

How this is counted

Half of its Steam reviewers had played 45 minutes or less when they gave their verdict. The middle half sat between 20 minutes and 1 hour.

One token is 1% of its Steam reviews, standing at the hours its author had played. Counted from about 1,790 Steam reviews, by the hours each author had played when they wrote theirs. It is not a time to beat.

When would you get there?

Tonight

At an hour a night, you’d pass the typical player’s 45 minutes tonight.

Half of its reviewers had played between 20 minutes and 1 hour: all of it tonight at this pace.

How this is counted

The typical player's hours are the hours Steam reviewers had played when they wrote their review, not a time to beat. The days count from today, playing the hours the pace says on each day.

Would you like Dev Guy?

Give the ball your Steam profile link or name. It reads the games you own most like Dev Guy, how long each held you against the typical player, and how long Dev Guy would take you. Public profiles only. No account needed, and no library is saved.

How this is counted

It reads how long you tend to stay: across every game you've played whose typical hours it knows (free games left out), how often you went past the typical player and how often you left before half their hours. It glows when you often stay past them, dims when you often leave early, and needs five played games to read at all. Then it shows the games you own most like this one, by the same measure as the shelf of games like it, each with your hours against the typical player's.

Why not a forecast for this game: on 36,766 Steam libraries, how a player did on games like one told little beyond how long they stay in games at all, so those games are shown as evidence and never scored. Nothing of the library is kept.

The same series first, then the games sharing the most of its strongest Steam tags, genres and themes, the better known ahead among the about as alike. A model that knows games read the list once: the ones it said do not play like this game are left out, the closest come first. Each case wears the hours its own page leads with.
