Each ranking has a saved version containing its hours, product order, game and category, methodology version and update date. Cite that version so readers can check the same data.

Each game board ranks the most-used gear among Hours.gg's verified players in its named game, category and saved snapshot. Each player's declared main carries their verified hours in that exact game; the gear with the most hours ranks first. These are game hours, rather than a device-use timer or sales figure. External data provides supplementary context and never buys or overrides ranking position.
