A lot of people have spent a lot of time playing Destiny, a video game in which players travel the galaxy watching internet commenters write things like “nobody plays Destiny.” But what about Kotaku’s staff? How much time have we wasted on this terrible, wonderful game?
In honour of tomorrow’s Rise of Iron, I pulled up WastedOnDestiny and plugged in the gamertags for all of Kotaku’s full-time employees. As you might expect, Kirk and I lead the pack, but you’d be surprised how many of us have cracked the 70-80 hour mark.
Let’s take a look:
Stephen Totilo
Jason Schreier
Kirk Hamilton
Patricia Hernandez
Mike Fahey
Heather Alexandra
Luke Plunkett
Nathan Grayson
That’s a total of 2,004 hours, or 83.5 days, collectively spent on Destiny. (Riley, Cecilia, and Ashcraft haven’t played the game.)
Bonus fun fact:
Over 311,000 people have spent at least 491 hours playing Destiny, according to wastedondestiny, which is ridiculous pic.twitter.com/qmotbumF8G

350+ pre any dlc coming out. Didnt play it more than 5 hours since dlc of any kind came out.
Oh, only 828 hours. I was worried I was going to put Kirk’s 1046 to shame.
526 on my Titan, 159 on my Warlock, 142 on my Hunter.
Only spent just under 9 hours. Which is about 8 hours more than I wanted to.
I am up to like 570 hours, if only all games paid for themselves so much. Its my second most played game ever, I just dont think its healthy to think how many hours I put into Everquest II. Five years at least one-four hours a night and two of those years i was off work injured (or semi-injured) so was much more than that, so god knows how extreme that number would be.
847. Plus all the time in the Tower/Reef/sitting in orbit…

Haven’t played any of the expansions, only played vanilla.
291 split mainly between a hunter and titan.
Was pretty into it for a while (about a year i think) but burned out pretty hard. Don’t get much time to play these days and probably would prefer to be doing something more productive anyway (like finishing the witcher 3 haha). But had fun with some good mates for a bit.
Played Destiny for 1000 hours
Saw 20 hours worth of half-baked content.
Spent 980 hours farming coloured blobs.
Bought the same guns with different numbers.
Had them nerfed.
Complained.
124 hours,
83 hours on 308 Hunter
One trophy away from platinum (finish a raid without dying)
I don’t feel bad at all looking at the incredible amounts of hours some people have put in!
About 2 hours on the beta – does that count?
