I can't play a game more than 50 hours
I play a lot of games, and whenever the game I play allows to spend 80h or more if you do it "seriously" I stop unconsciously after 40-50h approximately. And I play a lot of different game types: Skyrim, Starfield, Xcom 2, Planet Zoo, Planet Coaster, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, Jedi survivor, Hitman, AC Origins... Even online games: Minecraft, Overwatch (before it’s gone), Valorant, CS GO, battlefront 2... I play it, I take a lot of fun to play but a little overnight I will play much less until changing game.
Do you have solutions to encourage me to stay longer (without making me feel forced as if I wanted to make the purchase of the game profitable)?
PS: I use a translator, forgive mistakes

I don't think you can without forcing yourself. Which is something you shouldn't do to begin with.

It's fine to not play 50+ hours of games, you know.

50 hours is a good return for most games and if you feel burnt out or aren't motivated enough to play more, then it's best just to find something else.

Oh ok thank you, and if the game pleases me I’m the kind to go back on so I may be buy a new game

Visiblement tu as trouvé la solution, vu le temps que tu as passé sur tes jeux. SI t'as plus envie d'y jouer t'as pas à te forcer, passe à autre chose.

If you find that you don't finish long games, consider buying shorter games...

i tend give up after 10 15 mins if the game plays bad or has bugs if it plays good i tend dump 2 hours in to it and move on

Find a game with high replayability - multiplayer games, like CS:S where you can drop in or drop out of the game at leisure without needing to make any progress - just play for fun.

I tend to do that to most games. It's only a very few that I stick with and once I do then I will usually play it for hundreds of hours. One or two I have played for thousands but they are very rare.

Don't count your time spent in somewhere. Do you count your total hours spent in this Realm?

Total hours spent shown in Steam for individual games is just a STAT. It shouldn't make you go for more nor quit.

Just stop playing when you feel like it. One of the most liberating moments I had about gaming was realising I don't need to finish every game I play.

I don't force myself anymore. When I don't feel like playing something anymore I just stop. Maybe sometime down the line I'll feel like picking it again.
