ARE VIDEO GAMES TOO LONG?! When Adulting Kicks Your Game Time!

Let’s be real: Growing up is a trap. One minute you’re saving the world from a sand monster (like Spider-Man!), and the next you’re stuck doing actual grown-up stuff.

With great age comes great chores, as they say. These aren’t the fun tasks, but the boring ones that steal your time, like:

❌ Endless Chores: Grocery shopping, cleaning up messes, and sorting laundry.
❌ The 9-to-5 Grind: That thing your parents call “work.”
❌ No Time Left: Trying to sneak in a quick game session between everything else.

The older you get, the more life gets in the way of your favorite video games.

But Wait, Is It Our Fault?

We get it—life gets busy. But is it just us, or are the games themselves getting too huge and full of “filler” content?

Think about it:

Why does every major new game need to take 60+ hours?
Are developers adding boring, repetitive tasks just to make the game look bigger?

We call that game bloat, and it makes it super tough to finish the biggest new titles without ignoring your responsibilities!

Want the Real Talk?

This is the big question: Does Anyone Really Want Long Games Anymore?

We just posted a brand-new opinion video on the Eurogamer channel where we dive deep into this fight. We look at the games that respect your time (and the ones that pad their runtimes!).

Watch the video and share your take!

We need to know: Are you a player who loves a massive 100-hour adventure, or are you someone who can only squeeze in a quick round before bedtime?
