20-40 hours for RPGs (which is mostly what I play), 10-20 for anything else.
It's very very rare for me to play a game >40 hrs where it doesn't overstay its welcome or feel like it's padded out.

I miss the 10\15 hours AAA games.
Overly long AAA games, or overly padded ones like any open world game, becomes boring to death over time, and it adds time between releases, likely makes games much more expensive to make as well.
Obviously, RPGs or old school JRPGs are a different story 50+ hours is fine for that type of games.

Depends on the game. But I like games with tons of replay value. Whether it's 10 min matches of COD or a big RPG, I like getting good fun and value out of it. I'd take a repetitive shooter or sports or Diablo clicker over a canned game you can beat in a weekend.
But like all games, it gets to a point of burn out. A good COD I can play for 100s of hours. I think my highest COD game back in 360 days was like 20 days, so that's 500 hours! Then I had enough and move on. But for an RPG I still like 50+ hours. Beat the game, roam around to do more random quests and then similarly, I had enough and quit.
But if it's a cheap indie game where the gameplay loop dies fast, 10-20 hours is good enough.
I dont play typical 8-10 SP focused games anymore. I dont think I've played one of those kinds of games since 360.
