Lol, who on GameFAQs has played video games this decade?

The whole notion of GameFAQs no longer playing video games anymore is false based on the history of these polls:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7214-

The average number of hours played per week has remained fairly similar over the course of the poll's lifetime, except for the 2003 poll which had a much higher average (but the 2003 poll was with a far different site demographic back then).

Average hours played per week in each of those polls since 2009:

10/7/2009 - 20.47
3/1/2011 - 21.67
3/2/2014 - 21.98
4/9/2016 - 20.92
9/25/2018 - 21.48

There's just not much movement there, if any at all. In fact, it's probably within the range of random variation.

What has changed since 2009 is the rise of Steam and indie games, so there's a lot more games out there to play. This means it'll be tougher for a single game to be widely played among the site's userbase.
