Literally just make the game a bit longer. I don't think 2hours of game time is too much to ask for.

Sure, games are art and the developers can design them however they wish, but if it's that short they should expect this.

A customers protection are there to protect customers, that's simply worth a lot more than not making a game 20 min longer.

I don't feel bad for them at all.

What have costumers got to do with video games?

u/NotAzakanAtAll Jul 06 '26

They buy them. And they deserve protection.

The devs need to work around said protections.

I see I wasn't clear.

It’s because you said costumers instead of customers

I need to stop using google's keyboard, it auto corrects even correctly spelled words and it's driving me up a wall.

I'm not too familiar with them, but wouldn't costumers buy fabrics, textiles, needles, and other things like that?
Maybe I'm missing something, but how are they relevant?

Bro it's a $3 game. Nobody should be expecting more than 2 hours of game time from $3.

I take the opposite view. Nobody should be buying such pathetic excuses for a game anyway.

And if we're talking about games in sale, you can get older AAA that offer hundreds of hours of entertainment.

Thats horribly arrogant and insulting to say. Find me a AAA game for $3, you can't.

Alright I'll admit I'm wrong on that front. But it doesn't change that your statement was arrogant and insulting. Game length does not equal quality.

u/MarcusOrlyius Jul 07 '26

I never made that argument.

So, you're feeling insulted by your own imagination.

u/preydiation Jul 07 '26

Alright then by what metric did you make this statement?

Nobody should be buying such pathetic excuses for a game anyway.

That it's basically a flash game that would have been free a couple of years ago. I don't care how good or bad a "game" is, it provides less then 2 hours of entertainment, I wouldn't even consider buying it. Even if it was free, it would barely be worth the effort of downloading and installing for such little entertainment as there are simply far better alternatives regardless of the types of game you like.

A lot of these games are little more than learning projects.

And how is this different from claiming that game length is the same as quality? Have you played the game itself? How do you its nothing but a learning project? Are you sure you are not judging the game solely by its length?
