Pretty impossible to know since there's too many pre-Steam games and I idle in games too much, but it would go something like:
1. DotA (1+2)
2. BF2
3. BF1942/DC
4. Diablo 2
5. Rust

Either DotA would probably still exceed the others. Combined they probably equal the rest of the list and I played A LOT of Battlefield.

1. Dark Age of Camelot
2. Civilization (all of them)
3. Sim City (all of them)
4. Quake & Unreal Tournament
5. Rise of Nations

Hundreds and hundred of hours on those. I did read some books to offset the the effect of gaming on my brain.

My most played PC game has to be The Witcher 3 at 380 hours. I can't think of any other PC game I even put half that time into.

1. Eve Online - No idea how many hours, in the Thousands for certain, played from like 2003 to 2009, then another run around 2011 to 2013.
2. Diablo II
3. Rainbow 6

No others stand out for me. I did most of my gaming early in my teens, 20s. Lately I get bored after a few hours.

An interesting thing I've noticed about myself over the years is that in most single player games once I hit around 65 hours I get bored of it and finishing/playing more is a struggle.

Depending on the multiplayer game though I can spend years on a good addictive game. I've never tracked hours as that would make me sad.

I find I'm the same nowadays. But my limit is more around 40 hours or so.



My big game list would be:

Counter strike and Counterstrike Source - too many
Team Fortress and Team Fortess 2 - around 2400ish

1000+ Club:

Anarchy Online
Path of Exile
Diablo 2

This is going to require some estimates as some of these were 20+ years ago....

1. UT99, easily 4000+ hours, played this game 8+ hours a day for years, literally work, home and play UT99, sleep, repeat.
2. L4D/L4D2 between the two of them 2200 hours.
3. GW2, would estimate 1000-1200 hours.
4. Phantasie 1/2/3 for C64 easily spent 500-700 hours on them when i was a teenager.
5. MWO easily 500 hours during beta before they screwed it up and i quit when they launched without community warefare in the game as promised/advertised all during beta that it would be in by launch.
