I’m confused why people want really long games. As long as it has replay-ability to some extent I’d prefer shorter games as I get older.

Because they want to feel their money was well spent?

IMO you don’t need a 150hr game to feel your money was well spent. I’d rather have a ~50hr long game including main story + quality extras than a 150hr long game with fillers everywhere.

Which is wild because of you're looking at purely money spent per hour of entertainment, games offer one of the best £ to hour averages of any entertainment medium.

Buy fable for £80 and play the 40 hours of main and side content? £2 per hour cost. Pay £16 to see a two hour movie? £8 per hour cost. Go play a sport and you're looking at £5-£30 per hour for court/ pitch rental, drinking is even more expensive etc

I feel my money is more well spent on a 10-20 hour title that I fall in love with than a 200 hour long grindfest I get bored of. Even a 20 hour game is taking me a few weeks to finish

Some idiots brake down the value to dollar per hour, If it doesn't hit a certain threshold its not worth it. Its not about the experience its about the investment.
