Do you have statistics on how much time people spend playing Candy Crush or other modern games? I think a lot of people have spent 70 hours watching Game of Thrones.
But if length is really a problem, making shorter versions wouldn't be hard.
- jordanpg 8y agoMy point is that playing IF games is a major commitment, unlike Candy Crush or watching any TV show, which are 0 commitment activities. There is no casual playing of HHGTTG or Zork or Hadean Lands.
- aaaaaar 8y agoYou play it casually just like you read a fiction paperback casually. In the annual interactive fiction contest, the judges get 2 hours to evaluate ba game. So many new games aim for that to be the playing time. From what I remember some old Infocom games like Enchanter (which takes place in the Zork universe) don't take very long to finish (definitely less than a standard $60 video game console video game).
