1069 hours. Most played games were Minecraft, Pokémon Shield, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, and Breath of the Wild. My biggest month was September with 121 hours, and my biggest day was Sunday July 12. I'm sure a lot of hours are from going AFK at my iron farm or slime farm in Minecraft, but still. I played nearly twice as many hours this year as Zion who reviews games for a living lol
I'm pretty new to Pokémon TCG, but I love PTCGO. I just wish I could play it on my phone or Switch since I don't always want to pull out my laptop and I don't have a tablet. The reason they say they don't support phones is because cell network connections can be spotty, but honestly most people use a computer on wifi anyway so how would it be any worse on a phone? And if your tablet is set up for 4G mobile data, then you can still play PTCGO but I can't on my iPhone which is basically a small tablet? It just seems like awful logic to me. They should just optimize the app for phones already, or at least put it on Switch. I honestly don't think the TCG needs a drastic overhaul to be relevant. I find it to be much simpler than MtG now that I have played a few games and know how it works. It's a simple trading card game with less crazy mechanics than most others I've played but enough complexity to be really interesting, and it's way more fun to collect Pokémon cards since they're from a franchise I really care about rather than just generic vampires and monsters in MtG. I think if they just made it slightly more accessible the audience could be huge.
