Several years ago I played The Witcher 3. I couldn’t finish it since it had so much content. After about 20 hours in, I think I only got halfway through. For many people that much content for the price is an amazing deal but for me it was too much! Putting in an hour a day sporadically playing the game during the week, I was playing for almost half a year. From my perspective that’s a big commitment compared to a movie or something but probably equivalent to a good book or television series. I guess it all depends on your commitment to games but I also enjoy shorter games.

Games are a bigger commitment than TV shows. They require a focus to get through. Even if I'm into a TV show there's a good chance I'm going to spend a lot of time only half paying attention. Can even do productive things like cleaning the house while watching a show. Books are probably a better comparison to video games... which is probably also why I hate when those are too long.

Hmm books last 2-6 hours for me, depending on how bestseller-ish they're written. You're not talking about technical manuals are you? Series can get long, but those come out one "episode" every year to couple years. > Several years ago I played The Witcher 3. I couldn’t finish it since it had so much content. Welcome to the club :) I've made it to the Nordic themed island so far. By the time Cyberpunk 2077 is fully patched and PS5s or new gaming PCs become available and affordable again, I might finish it!
