#1 Investigators stated that the addicted gamer spent more than 2,000 hours playing the game in the last year-and-a-half.

It is a schedule which works out at around six-and-a-half hours a day, culminating in the intensive almost non-stop sessions over 22 days leading to his death.

I worked it out to about just under four hours (3.65) per day average. That's a lot of gaming, but not excessive, IMO.

Maybe my mafs are off.
