  - Reasoning: The only hour claims are '500 hours' and 'over 600 hours,' but they refer to the base game or to supporting the DLC, not to playtime in Besiege: Supporter Pack itself. The DLC-focused comments describe it as a supporter pack and discuss cosmetic blocks or water effects, with no hours given for game completion, story completion, session length, or endgame. Therefore all playtime metrics for the target Supporter Pack remain unsupported and are set to null.
