Sometimes It's OK to Give Up

Over the years, as video games--especially massive AAA titles--have evolved into spectacular, open-world spectacles, they've also increased in duration. What used to take 20 or 30 hours to complete now takes five times that. The question is no longer "Do I want to play this game?" but rather "Do I want to sink 100 hours of my life into it?" Because once you start, it can be very, very difficult to stop, even when you want to. Sure, in some ways longer games are good.
