I remember when the first couple games were 'complete' and I said to my friend '2 games are done and they've only shaved over 1.5 hours. Seriously? Why bother

I remember when the first couple games were 'complete' and I said to my friend '2 games are done and they've only shaved over 1.5 hours. Seriously? Why bother?'
I didn't have the Steam version pre-ordered (I ordered the PS3 one, which had a code for the Steam one in it for free) so I didn't have any stake in the matter, but if I had, and I had bought the Potato Pack, I'd have been a little upset at them.
But then, I remember thinking that about almost every ARG I've ever seen. When you try to mix reality with a game, you almost always end up with a very thin game with very thin rewards. You rarely get more out of it than just enjoying the ARG itself, even though they present it as a chance to get something better.
In short, I think the expectations were set wrong. Had they presented it merely as an ARG with no 'reward' at the end, I'd be less disappointed with it.
