How long does a game last?

With PC games how long do you leave them on your PC?
I Have 6 games on the PC now
GTA3
MOHAA
Deus Ex
Fifa 2002
Age of Empires 2
Tribes 2

And not on the system
Deus Ex
Half Life
AVP2
Op Flash
Unreal
Kick off 2002
And loads of others.
How long do you leave a game on ,and how long do you play it ?
I find one PC single player game at a time is enough for me as the depth of them and with patches and stuff takse about 1 month or more to complete them.

Depends really.

HL has been on my system since i got it (1month after it came out) unless i needed to format or reinstall it.

I leave most of my games that i play on and crack 'em cause i can't be bothered taking them out of boxes and putting them back again. (and no its not illegal thats what cracks are for)

Some games like Daikatana went on and off faster than an athlon with no heatsink (7secs to reach 147*c)

Really depends on the game.

The only game that has permanently remained on my PC is Half-Life (got it the day it came out).

Half Life and Diablo 2 are the only games on my PC at the moment, HalfLife been on this PC since I brought it and and a fair while on my old PC.

as a rule - I find playing games on my console a better experience though
