He's part of the gaming industry's problem right now. They want mobile games that don't take much thinking and that they can finish in one or two sittings.

Well it depends on your availability too. I know this pisses people off on here to bring up but those of us with kids aren't crazy about putting 80 hours into a game. Even some people with ign have said that they have so much to do and play that they don't like it either. I still like them but it sucks to not finish so many games or feel like you aren't making progress.

Perhaps he's simply saying he's sad that he probably won't have the time to invest in a game like that?

If I say I'd love to become fluent in a foreign language but it makes me sad when I realize how much time that will take, it doesn't mean I hate Spanish.

When I see these really lengthy games being talked about, I get a little sad too knowing I'm probably not going to have the time to play through them.

I could be wrong here but I feel like people's opinions on how long they want their games will largely be shaped by their age. When I was in my 20's and I heard a game was 40+ hours long, it made me happy. Now in my 30's with a family, that same news usually means I won't be playing that game or at the very least not playing it to completion.
