@kaliranya@vtuber.house Because they've spent 15 bucks on the game and want it to be forever game, like, you know, That One Voxel Game That Was Designed To Be Infinite(tm).
Measuring games by their playtime a.k.a. "WELL HOLLOW KNIGHT IS 40 HOURS LONG AND IT'S ONLY 20 BUCKS, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR GAME IS 20 BUCKS, BUT ONLY 8 HOURS LONG?????" is a plague of gaming culture.

@0x0961h@mastodon.gamedev.place That latter has infected me some, I confess 😭 Short games priced above $10 or so tend to sit on my wish list a long time. But, that's as much a feature of my being constantly broke, as of memetic material absorbed from consumer gamer culture...
