In December it becomes customary for companies to show data on the video games we have played the most throughout the year, how many books we have read and how much music we have listened to, so Blizzard He also wanted to show off how things have gone throughout 2024 by leaving us with a complete infographic with a series of very curious data.
This has led him to indicate some numbers that have garnered their different titlesas well as the Battle.net application, among which we can see some of the most striking and curious.

For example, among all the games a total of 8.34 billion hourswhich would be equivalent to walking around the world a million times. In addition, more than 378 million messages have been sent, which implies that each one has spent an average of five seconds reading each one, which would be the same as reading non-stop for 60 years.
Moving on to specific titles, in World of Warcraft there have been wiped out 4.5 billion spiders and nerubianssomething understandable as they are the most frequent enemies of The War Within expansion, and placing all of these creatures on a scale would weigh the same as a blue whale. For its part, more than 400 million miniatures of the Cenario family have been played in Warcraft Rumble, which is the same as one for every 1,000 trees in the Amazon.
In the case of Hearthstone, a strange passion for Murlocs has been demonstrated by having played more than 4 billion minions, which is more than the combination of people living in the United States, China, India and all the countries in Europe. In Overwatch 2, so many games have been played on the Hanaoka and Throne of Anubis maps that it would be the same as travel to Neptune and return to Earth a total of eight timesthat is, 203 years.
Changing the saga, in Diablo IV 1.7 billion demons have been killed, which is the same number of domesticated bees in the world.
