Which genre do you play more than most?
YES! It seems that the puzzle genre (or at least games I'd class as puzzle) gets split between indie, strategy, adventure and even RPG sometimes. At least we can use the Steam tag I guess.

indie is really terribly classified as a genre. oh well. I would probably have puzzle too. somehow it's action, and then adventure and indie.

Wow! That's very impressive given Action is on average the most played genre.

Interestingly, my "Spent per Genre" is slightly below average in Action :)

Action is showing very high for a lot of people because that is where counter strike shows up and people put thousands of hours into it. I'm at 65% action even though I haven't played counter strike in a couple years.

Adventure for me, with RPG at a close second. Not too far away from the average though, my 9 percentiles in adventure is the largest difference in any category.

Hmmm, I wonder which SG user is the closest to the average. Is there an "average Joe" with 0 difference?
Comment has been collapsed.
RPG 22% to 9% average and Indie 22% to 14% average.
Also 6% percentage played compared to 51% of average SG user, hmmm...

I dream of the day that my played exceeds the SG average... Although I am closer than you, I will admit!

...maybe the average SG users uses idling software and you don't? :)
I don't idle for cards either.
Comment has been collapsed.
Heh, didn't think of that, but yeah, this probably bumps the average played percentage quite a bit. I still would be way behind most of the users though :)

I'm pretty positive that's why my % played is so low compared to average. I do not idle for cards, so the time I've spent in games is all actual time playing. If there was a category for "% of games that have 10 hours or more played" that would be about identical to my overall % of games played.

I play 3 times more early access games than the average person. If I hadn't idled for trading cards, this number would be much higher. <3 Rust

I think we should keep in mind that a whole lot of those "playtime" hours are actually idling for cards.
That's why I have the highest difference on indie games, but my real difference is on strategy where I actually play.

Which might bias the distribution of the average towards the distribution of genres given away on SG, I guess (or perhaps those available on Steam at all). Sadly it seems SG doesn't provide a graph of that - otherwise we could potentially normalise for that phenomena.

I assumed it was coming from the top-level genre that every game has: when you load a game's store page, above it's name it has breadcrumbs saying something like "All Games > [Genre] Games > [Game Name]" - which I presume Steam requires when a developer submits it to the store? You do end up with funny situations - like The Talos Principle is apparently "indie", whilst "The Witness" is adventure. Both are technically correct - but I'd consider The Witness to be more indie than The Talos Principle.
Also looking forward to getting stuck into SupCom FA - my colleagues managed to talk me into getting it at our Christmas party last year.

I'm surprisingly average on most of them, only going notably above the average on RPG (+6%) and Indie (+5%). Only have 4% in strategy compared to the average 9% :o but I imagine the 450+ hours I have in three Fire Emblem games on my 3DS probably tips it the other way...

I've got 7% more than average in action, seconded by adventure (5%). My idle farming goes for games, which managed to bore me in less than 10 minutes, or the ones which won't work properly even on my pc.

I'm the opposite. 4% is strategy (and even this is higher than I expected). Edit: I misread. It's 2%.

RPG: 21 % (compare to 9 % average).
Well, Skyrim.

RPG (40% vs 9%) and MMO (37% vs. 3%). Yeah, I definitely mostly play MMORPGs... Every other genre is lagging far behind (SG registers 0% for Early Access, Sports and Racing, which is mostly correct, if we don't count Football Manager as a sport game).
Comment has been collapsed.
Interesting that Football Manager isn't affecting your stats - FM2017 definitely would appear under that category. I can't see to access the page for 2011 though - maybe that's the problem.
Comment has been collapsed.
Old FM games are removed from the store after the new one has been released - so FM2011 has gone long time ago. But yeah, that will surely affect my stats.

10% more indie, which feels a bit odd, because I spend most of my time on Rocket League... which shows as 9% more in two categories (sports and racing)
Comment has been collapsed.
Indie by 11 points more (25% vs 14 %)
Action I'm 16 points less than average (12% vs 28%)
Comment has been collapsed.
Stealth. Sadly no option for that on poll or SG stats :(
Adventure - 24% vs 10%
Comment has been collapsed.
Strategy (I 25% the average user 9%). The opposite (so less) is action (I 20% the others 28%).
Comment has been collapsed.
Action (me 44%, average 28%) - But that's only for Steam registered games I think. Aside from Steam I've played at least 50 mostly point-and-click-adventure games, so I guess the real genre should be that instead. Less than average are strategy and MM games (-3%).
Furthermore I'am surprised that my account value (1700$) is only a third of the average value and I feel happy that my percentage played stats (57%) are above average even if I bought many games just for nostalgic reasons a second time on Steam without knowing if I will ever play them again.

Indie, Adventure, Casual
Almost all are twiceas high as the average

It looks like it's all about the Action for me. :3
I blame it on all the time I've spent playing shooters...

Yours look quite similar to mine - most more in Strategy, second in Indie, much less in Action.

Head on over to your SG Steam stats page and scroll down to the bottom graph (Playtime per Genre). Hover over each of the categories and find the largest difference between your playtime (in red in my example) and the "average" (in grey).
In my case, I spend 12 percentiles more time in strategy games than the average SteamGifts user, then 8 percentiles
more in "Indie" games. Clearly I play a lot less action games than the average (-20 percentiles) - that's probably because I'm not very good at them! :D
No particular reason for this - just interested to see how people differ.
