"Nobody asked for this" was bad.
"They're just following trends" was worse.
Now we have a new phrase flying around that makes us all look bad. That of course is "They should just make shorter games."
This is always brought up in response to the industries shrinking profits.
As if 10 hour AAA games weren't everywhere 15+ years ago. (They died for a reason)
As if no one making games today has thought "What if we just made a shorter game?" (It's not a novel idea)
As if 10 hour games are generating a ton of revenue right now. (Nobody buys these games)
Nobody wants to spend $70 dollars on a one and done game you can beat in a weekend. Can we collectively move on from this embarrassing talking point once and for all? People clearly don't want this.
