Make cheaper games. Nobody is forcing you to make games that have too much content and take 600 hours to complete and often overstay their welcome.

It's like how movies aren't 1.5 hours anymore. They're always 3 hour bloated nonsense that overstay their welcome. Make it cheaper by telling a better shorter story with less. More isn't better.

I find myself going back to simpler games that don't require hundreds of hours of buy in. Im a functioning adult I don't have time to experience endless collection quests. There needs to be a "dad mode" in games that gets rid of all the fluff.

Definitely. I go back to older games all the time for similar reasons. I also enjoy a linear story that just has a focus and ends eventually.

I'm happy my kids like Halo 1-3 and 1v1 games. But man...fortnite is living in their heads rent free lol
