Developer of a great short game thinks that people like short games. No we like great games.

But I especially like great short games. I don't want to spend 100+ hours just to complete a campaign with every other game.
Something more linear with cool set pieces you can be done with after 10 - 20 hours is nice. And, though I hate to toot Microsoft's horn, Game Pass is the ideal format for such games in my opinion.

I love great long games. I want to be sucked into the game and enjoy it for as long as possible.
-
That's valid. Such games should definitely exist. But too many games get unnecessary padding and slapped-on mechanics because "that's what the market wants", or what have you.

🙋♀️I like short games. Obviously I like great games but my hierarchy is great+short > short > great
Like, was Bramble: The Mountain King better than Elden Ring? Nah, but which one did I actually finish?
