~~Not sure why so many people are saying the hours don't sync, they absolutely should. I know sometimes it takes awhile to sync, but I'm not sure the exact mechanics.~~
Ok apparently I'm just wrong on this. I spend a lot of time playing offline and never noticed missing hours. I also could have sworn I read about it taking awhile to update offline hours before, but now I can't find anything like that.
Most people are saying it, because steam simply doesn't sync offline played playing time.
When playing offline, it temporarily tracks the offline playtime locals in your library. Butnomce you connect to the servers, it will sync up the playtime with what has been stored on valves servers, erasing any locally played game time.
Are you sure? I just tried disconnecting my console from internet and play some game for a while and then when the play time increased I exit the game and connected to the internet and the play time was actually the same that the previous one before I connected the internet.
