Aging gamers were reportedly delighted to see that a new video game called Eldric Quest has accessibility features catered specifically to people their age who do not have enough time to actually play a video game.
“I came back from the office at around 7 p.m. and was so happy to see this mode implemented because holy shit am I tired,”

I don't think it's the difficulty of games that makes them take so long for me. Just that everything is so bloated now. There's so much to do, but so little of it actually adds to the experience.
I appreciate that a lot of games have realised this and let you differentiate between "go this way to see the end of the game" and "here is some bullshit if you're not getting another game until Christmas".
Like sure, I could deliver every parcel in Death Stranding, and really get into the class fantasy of being a post apocalyptic Deliveroo driver, but I'm just mainlining the story quests at this point. Which is taking long enough on its own.
The new assassin's Creed games feel like this to me as well. I ended up feeling like i had sunk 4000 hours into Valhalla and just stopped giving a shit lol
I played Odyssey and the DLCs over 2 years ago, and I still feel kind of tuckered out on AC for a bit.
The only thing that makes me want to play Valhalla at some point is the Keith Flint lookalike singing Smack my Bishop.
Smack my bishop completely blindsided me and it was hilarious. Such a good bit
Wait, there's an "end of the game"?
