An hour count doesn't have any effect on the value I place on a game. Anymore, I'd rather have them shorter than they are; everything feels over bloated and padded out these days.
The length of a game has never been a factor in whether I buy a game or not.
Most movies are 90 minutes to just over 2 hours, it's been a standard for many years with the odd excpetion of course. If a game came out that was completed in 6 hous you bet this will impact it no matter how good it is if it's $60.That's like judging a movie after it's length... As long as the game is great it doesn't matter how long it is.
You dont pay 60$ for a theatre or blue ray. If a game came out for 60$ at 2 hours long, i would literally wait until its a free giveaway and spam bad reviews on that shit.That's like judging a movie after it's length... As long as the game is great it doesn't matter how long it is.
This is my sweet spot too.

A Broadway musical can come close, especially if you factor in a drink. A music live act the same.You dont pay 60$ for a theatre or blue ray. If a game came out for 60$ at 2 hourd long, i would literally wait until its a free giveaway.
Which is why I don't do this kind of entertainment. Way overpriced.A Broadway musical can come close, especially if you factor in a drink. A music live act the same.
Ok that's fair but at that same time it's not $60 day 1 purchase either.
I bought Gungrave for 60€ and didn't have a problem with it being like 1,5 hours long. So no, it doesn't impact me as long as the game is really good. Some of my favorite games are 5 to 8 hours long. I take that over 100 hours of bloat.Most movies are 90 minutes to just over 2 hours, it's been a standard for many years with the odd excpetion of course.

Why is it crazy? It's not really that surprising to me."that's it" is the feeling I'm talking about.
It's crazy how the under 10 hour audience is in the lead here. How rewarding could a sub 10 hour game be that it equals a $60 admission fee.
What does it being a PS2 game have to do with anything? I'm just trying to understand how that relates to the second part of your statement, because I do agree that people consume entertainment differently now.Isn't that a PS2 game? Times have changed and most people consume things differently now.
Back in the PS2 days those games were very common. Now most games have some form of online attached to them to add value. Then when you add GOTY contenders like The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2 and the upcoming Cyberpunk I would think a 6 hour game would be very difficult in these times to sell at $60. God of War and Horizon and Breath of the Wild are nowhere near 6 hour games.What does it being a PS2 game have to do with anything?
