Counted from the Steam libraries read here, by the hours Steam has on each game; free games are left out, since Steam lists one as owned only once it has been played. A game owned in only a few libraries is pulled toward the kind’s 16% as if 60 more owners had played it like the typical one, so a lucky handful can’t top the list. S is the top 8%, A the next 20%, B the next 30%, C the next 25%, D the rest.
