A gamer explains that he claims to have played GTA V on Steam for more than 19,000 hours. The post is controversial, as no one really believes he has played that much.
A user posted on reddit his playing time for GTA V. The screenshot shows the Steam interface, where you can see your playtime in hours. You can clearly see that he claims to have spent more than 19,000 hours playing GTA V.

- A user jokes that most of that time is surely made up of the long loading times of the game.
