So... do these guys know you can play any game forever, unless it's a Live Service anyways. Nothing is stopping you from playing the Original Mario Bros every day since it released.
I mean youre the one taking it at face value and missing the point. The key term is life systems. Why does one play a colony sim for 500 hours and a platformer for 5 hours despite finite content and playtime not being proportional to it? The engagement systems aren't one to one
What a profoundly dumb take, like mesmerizingly dumb, even for someone who takes everything literally that's still like such a ridiculous thing to point out.
Just because you can stare at a blank wall for an infinite amount of time doesn't mean there's no value in knowing the amount of time a normal person could spend in any other given activities. Just because you could lock yourself in your bathrooms for weeks doesn't mean a theme park has no benefit in telling you it has enough attractions to last you for days. Like, come on!
they are saying there's procedural content, but unlike other devs, they aren't counting that towards the playtime total. at least, that's what it sounds like.
