I just noticed i started a game on hard because i wanted to see how fast i could beat it and possibly write a walkthrough. I paused it naturally after i started till i could get back to it. My stats show 170 hours already when i only played for maybe 2. Shouldn't "real" hours played be unpaused hours considering when its on pause your not playing Perhaps another stat called Overall Game time or something could be added. There is no way for me to know how long i played now since it counts paused time.

That situation has been the case since the PDA days. I'd love to see it changed, but the real-time engine complexities are myriad. Right now, all of the games work that way.

Alternatively, it would be nice to have a game stat for how many "game years" have been played. Obviously in 2x mode it would count the years faster than in 1/2 mode...

This could be in addition to the Hours Played stat.
