Who here would pay $70+ for 3-5 hours of game play?

Why not? Street Fighter 2 was, afterall, only a 20 minute game, and I paid probably the equivalent of 100-150$ USD multiple times for multiple versions of it back in the SNES era.

Resident Evil 1 and 2 couldn't have been more than 2-4 hours long.

Most NES games were not more than 2-3 hours long.

If the game is good, I will buy it. What the question fails to understand is that shorter games generally have LOTS of replayability. I would sooner pay full price for a good replayable short game, than a long game I would only want to play once.

3-5 hours refers to how long you play it total, before you are done with it.  A game from start to end could be short, but be able to be replayed a lot.  One could, for example, play a game of chess in under one half hour, but not be done for it in a lifetime.
