    It’s funny, I actually was thinking it’s the other way around. Older gamers have a million different things begging for attention, so longer games just aren’t as appealing anymore. Younger gamers can easily find the time to sit down for hours at a time uninterrupted.

    In reality, it’s probably somewhere in between. Younger people also gave increasingly smaller attention spans due to social media, so there probably are a growing number of them that just wouldn’t sit with one game for that long.

      They mean gamers of old. That is, currently old gamers, but back when we were young, and had time, and not a lot of games to fill it with, so we appreciated a longer game.

      Current young gamers have vast libraries of games to choose from, and shortened attention spans due to social media.
