I thought Donkey Kong 64 taught us this lesson years ago. Yet here we are still complaining about bloated games lol. Speaking of... you should do a design delve on that game JM8.

It would be easy to point out games that are artificially stretched out by corporate mandate (Ubisoft collect a thons) or tradition (Yakuza games -I enjoyed the content overload of Yakuza 0 but damn there were 500 more iterations on karaoke, fighting, and empire building?)
