Time sinks! 200+ hours? 100% and keep coming back? caught 'em all? Do we want more of them?

Dragon Quest 9
Some people belive that the story mode is a TUTORIAL for the post-game play.
200 hours, best ?40 ever.
Also Fallout New Vegas and it's DLC
Around 75+ hours per playthough, i've done at least 12...

I don't want long games.
If a game is very good, you'll come back anyway and the game will have replay value that way. Strategy games are perfect for this.

Quality goes down when a game is stretched to postpone the ending. You just get filler between the good bits in the form of repetition and grind.

Getting a new game is cheap enough with Steam special sales, humble bundles, etc. or raiding on the high seas if you prefer, so quantity is already there.

Length is only an issue when we're talking 5 hour, $50 ripoffs.
Quality time is all I want from games.

Depends. Disgaea, for example, really intrigued me. For about 60 hours. Then it became a lifeless grind that really didn't appeal to me any more.
If it's hours of real, honest-to-god content, than yeah: the more the merrier. If it's long grinds of repeated content (Dragon Age 2, World of Warcraft, Call of Duty) than no, I don't care if it's 6 hours or 60,000 hours: more is not better.
