And that's a biased statistic. My recap shows I spent 1% of my time playing games released in 2024 when I know, for a fact, that I didn't. Upon further investigation, I found that it was counting my play time in Palworld as 1% even though it still shows as "0 minutes" because I literally only opened it to check that it worked.
