1066 on V and 645 on VI. I play other games too. To be honest I have spent most of my game time on the Hearts of Iron series and Europa Universalis, but HOI is my favorite and WWII my favorite game period.

VI has been out for what, 6 months? A full-time job (40 hours/week) is just over 2000 per year, so 2000 hours in VI so far is the equivalent of two full-time jobs. Not to rain on the parade, but that might be enough to indicate a problem. 
I haven't bought VI yet, got about 70 hours in V, around 250 in IV, who knows how many in III as that was mostly disc-based. Most of any game on Steam is EUIV at 800+, but it came out 3.5 years ago. I think that's still a decent amount.

I hit over 3000 officially on Steam but I played much more offline on my Mac in those days... so my guestimate would be in the 9-10,000 hours range. Please, I need help
Doesn't Steam take into account your offline hours once you connect to the Steam server ?
Pretty sure it does not (else I would have many, many more reported hours in some games that I only played offline).

I have 78 hours in Civ IV, and I played nearly all of my Civ IV time offline while the total surely didn't surpass my 200-something hours Civ VI, so I think that it does count offline hours when you go online again.

On the Mac you didn't have to on Civ5, I don't know if it is the same on Civ6, since I don't use my Mac for gaming anymore.

Not if you are retired. Sure there are chores and vacation travel, but that leaves lots of time for games.
Also, if you are like me, you got the game at a store and played without steam. Actually, I stayed away from stem for years, because what happens if you quit steam or it goes out of business? You lose all those game that you bought. I finally gave up when stores for the most part started to limit or not carry at all pc games in favor of X-box and others. I have to give steam credit, having it saves a lot of physical space (not having game disks and boxes) and makes it so much easier to have a game that is current with all the patches,

Keep either the email copies or print hard copies of the receipt each time you buy a game; and if that ever did happen I'm sure as many companies as could would replace it for you...

Civ V: 3526h
Civ VI: 611h so far (but how long ago did the linux version come out?) Should be close by end of the year.

Little late for that now.
I guess I could always print out the library now and save the messages from now on.

Not even the emails? If not, I'd try asking Steam to email you your receipts again. It's not like they can't work out what they have sold to you, and when!
I wouldn't count on that. However, I admit that I haven't read the steam contracts. In the case of iTunes/AppStore or Amazon for example you can't download anything again if they ever go out of business and you are not allowed to get it from other platforms. That's also with steam right now: owning something on steam doesn't mean you own any other version of the game, like for example the AppStore or GoG. You have to buy it again if you want to use another version.

I think there are very few things that would make Steam go out of business while still letting us worry about wheter we still have our games.

I can't say you're wrong as I don't know much about services like it....but surely if that's the realistic outcome of a failure, should we be paying as much as we do for say a new release game?
