It's harder than you think (Destiny)

In just about every article and interview I've read, Bungie seems obsessed, it'd say even at the level of paranoia, with 'keeping players playing'. This is not something you have to worry about if your game is actually fun.

As usual, your failure of imagination is epic. There are many fun games all competiting for player time and even the funnest games is slowly played less over time.

And? I have tons of games I still have to play. Let me decide where to spend my time. I'd rather play a shorter game which was designed to be the best it could be, versus a game designed to be long just to keep me playing it.

Why can't length and more specifically long length be a part of making a game as fun as it can be? With length you can tell stories that evolve over time just as one example. But again everything with you is negative. Games aren't long for good reasons, only bad ones. One day I hope you'll give us a break...
