I'm not sure if he is trying to push for most games to be approximately 15 hours in length but if he is, I'm not in agreement. Games that last long are what keep me playing. I don't want to buy a game on Friday when it's released and have it completed by Sunday evening. This 'ex-boss' explains “I would finish more games, first of all". Well, news flash sir, we aren't all high flying earners like you who is fortunate enough to have been part of such a major corporation at 'boss status'. What makes you think we can afford a new title every week to keep our already expensive console from gathering dust? A gaming standard has been set with storyline lengths on par with that of high quality TV shows. I'll support the idea of a variation in single player playthrough lengths (Man of Medan vs RDR2 for example) but it'll be disappointing if developers adhere to this concept as the future of gaming.
