In Steam, you can see how many minutes/hours/days/weeks/years you have sunk into playing a game.
I’m not seeing anything like that in the battle.net launcher.
Anything? Anyone?
I don’t think the bnet launcher has anything equivalent to that, unfortunately. My video drivers (AMD Adrenalin) track it, but that doesn’t span across different systems or even OS reloads, of course, and I think it seems to only count non-windowed mode, or counts them as separate applications. I switched to windowed mode a while back, and have reloaded my OS since D2R came out to do a OS HDD upgrade, so I think my number there is pretty far off.
Not sure if there’s a better way to figure it out.
My AMD tells me I’ve spent over 1500 hours in just d2r. All that does is make me wonder what my lifetime investment is into D2.

Well you can extrapolate based upon the time played so far, and give a bump to your earlier days where you likely played more than you do now (just a guess). D2:R came out September of '21, so we’re sitting at 3.25 years. 1500 divided by 3.25, roughly 460 hours per year for D2:R, multiply that by 24 (if you’ve played since the OG came out), then multiply again by around 1.3, which comes out to 14,352 hours, or 1.638 years. This is of course assuming that you played the game consistently over the past 24 years.
Did you get your moneys worth out of the game? That same amount of money might last a few hours in an old school arcade hall. 
Luckily I had several years gaps. Over 14k hours of D2 would be hard to explain to anyone.
I don’t actually want to know this figure… My OG D2 and especially D2:LOD days would be crazy. I spent my school nights playing when my parents thought I was sleeping, and I’d LAN at my friend’s house during the weekends very often and we’d play all night. I have responsibilities now, but still this is one of my primary games I will play.
What other game ever in history has this amount of consistent replay ability with its fanbase?
The Sims, Team Fortress/Counterstrike, WOW, etc. - replayability & played for many years by devout fanbases.
I think I still have the retail box for D2, along with many other classics in the closet. I am very thankful especially for D2R’s graphic improvements -makes the original look absolutely hideous in comparison.
You know what - ignorance is bliss; it probably is better not knowing how much time of vidiocy I’ve spent gaming after I have pondered it. Blue pill steak please!
