NO direct relationship? maybe it’s not 1:1 but surely there is some kind of direct relationship.

Depends on your definition of "direct."

I've played around 1k hours of Europa Universalis IV and I've never completed a campaign (gotten to the last year in the game), because I find I've completed my goals about halfway or two thirds of the way through the time line. The same goes for most Civ games, I just quit and restart once I know I've won.

I imagine Elden Ring is similar for many people, they play a character for a couple dozen hours and restart with a new character.

definition of “direct.”

a direct relationship means the variables increase or decrease with each other, but not necessarily in the same proportion.

Why are you guys arguing? The chart means exactly what it says. People who have played the game with more than 100+ hours. It says nothing about people who’ve finished the game.

There’s probably some sort of positive relationship between the two, but we’d need mire information.
