Probably the biggest reason I will leave a game unfinished is if it takes too much effort to get back into the game. There are plenty of times I will take a break from a game, even one I really enjoy playing, and more often than not it is easier for me to start the game over than to try and figure out where I left off, what I have to do and even the general gameplay (key-commands, items, etc.) When I was a kid I could play a game from beginning to end without stopping, and I had a lot fewer games available. One thing that has helped me is game walkthroughs, I scan up to the point where I'm at and get a good idea of strategies I had previously learned, as well as the story. One thing that game developers could do is actually provide this information to the player. Basically create a walkthrough based on what the player has done, up until the current point of the game.
