The Greatest Psyop in Gaming Industry

Lately I have been feeling that are we care about when a new game is about to be released is just how many hours is the game. The more the better, if it is below 50 then its not worth its money. And when the game is finally released, people somehow act shocked that the 100+ hours is just mostly bloat and useless collectibles with a mediocre story. In this video I want to talk about how we are hyper fixating too much on the total hour count of a game and how we were actually manipulated to think that hours are the best metrics to rate a game. All the big publishers did their best to influence us in thinking that more is better. Wasting your time on bloated games is the biggest mistake that you can do.
