Recorded playtime at review
The earlier researcher sampled the 300 most recent reviews per title, across languages and purchase types, using Steam’s review API. These are sampled reviewers, not all owners. Their playtime may include unfinished progress, replay and idle time. The direction and size of any bias relative to all owners are not established here. The share below two hours is not a refund rate.
