This sure does seem a LOT simpler, and easier for a newbie (and this old brain too!) to understand:

SELECT t2.name, COUNT(*)

FROM dbo.#stat t1

--get the G events...

I found another version. It's slower on this small dataset, but I think it will run faster on a larger dataset, because it contains one fewer sort.

WITH play_events AS...

You're overengineering this. Simply ADD the columns

SET Col10 = Col6 + Col7 + Col8 + Col 9

I believe it falls under "Limited by available resources."
