A sane response but do you think challenging games save the players money? If your stuck on a game it extends its life. 

Sure, that's the whole reason NES games are the way they are. Nowadays games tend to be artificially lenghtened through sidequests and other inane completionist stuff far more often though.

Oh yeah, bloat for extended gameplay is sickening but ya know some people are into ticking check boxes if a game is something they're enjoying. I don't mind it if the game is really good and I wanna extend gameplay but some take it to extremes, like Hogwarts Legacy, full to the brim of small, repetitive tasks every square foot of the map with thousands and thousands of collectibles. I think The Witcher 3 done it perfectly, it's not packed but just filled lightly with content that feels significant enough that it's fun and no bloody collectibles or notes.
