Do game devs need to respect our time better? Can shorter games be better?

Some games certainly have more bloat than they should have but I find the poll option "not like they used to" pretty funny because old school definitely did not respect your time with stuff like full game overs, tons of trial and error design and RPGs having much more forced grinding.

I think we need to agree that "respecting your time" really means something different depending on who is playing.  A list of 100 shitty side quests respects my time a lot less than full game overs, trial and error, and grinding.  I'm sure others would disagree.

Well I can't say I agree if the quests are optional, but like you say to each their own.
