However, after a few years the play time stat tracking was changed to be done on the console side, as a lot of devs weren't including it, so a lot of game's times showed as zero hours played.

Scraping this data - and other leaderboard data - shouldn't be a difficult task, neither should setting up a system to show you various filterable stats as you suggest.

But then, I'm not a GTN developer, so that's easy for me to say Big Grin
This brings back memories. Waaaaaaaaaaay BitD was a fun project called The Live Eye (RIP) and it tracked your time(s) played (how long and when).
The downside with hour tracking is the games themselves. Many games (more than half of the ones I play) continue to track hours even in idle and sleep mode. So, you don't get a very accurate representation of hours "played" so much as "hours this was the main application in your consoles active RAM."

I never leave things in quick resume either because it always seems to just restart every time I go back to it.
