Display Game with Longest Playtime
📋 Summary
Add an option in LaunchBox to display the game with the longest total playtime (by hours), alongside or instead of the current “Most Played” game, which is currently based on the number of launches.
🎯 Feature Overview
Introduce a Longest Played display option in the game details pane
Allows users to toggle between:
Most Played (by play count)
Longest Played (by total hours)
Could also be included as an optional statistic in:
Platform details view
Game details sidebar
Big Box platform views or statistics screens
🛠 Example Use Case
A user launches Tales of Berseria 30 times but plays for only 10 hours total.
Another game, Rocksmith 2014, is launched just 5 times but played for 60 hours.
The Longest Played display correctly highlights Rocksmith 2014 as the top title.
📦 Benefits
Provides more accurate reflection of player engagement and time investment.
Adds meaningful insights for users tracking their gaming habits.
Complements play count data for a fuller picture of play history.
💡 Notes
Could later expand into richer playtime analytics, like:
Average session duration
Total playtime by platform
Playtime charts or visual summaries for dashboard/statistics features.
