Always good to see someone in the industry push back on all of these shitty tactics the AAA publishers want to push.

    Tbh I really enjoy shorter games that are reasonably priced.

    I probably only find the time to play 1-2 150+ hr game a year. The rest of my free time is spent socializing, dealing with shit like college, or playing shorter games that I can knock out in multiple 1-2 hour sessions within two weeks

    I hate how so many games are demanding of your time today, or feed off that annoying FOMO feeling.

    I’m happy that I know Baldurs gate will always be there and I’m really not going to miss out on anything important. Maybe I’ll get to it next year lol

      The campaign only takes like 40 hours maybe. 60 for your first run if you’re an explorer. I only have so much time in it because I want to see every cut scene and that takes multiple characters. You could definitely play BG3 in shorter sessions. It’s very slow paced if you want it to be.
