Looking over the responses to the question, a (unwanted) solution occurred to me: Estimated Playtime listed on the box, with break outs for mode-types.
Unfortunately “Estimated Playtime” is heinously subjective. When I purchase a book I can see how many pages it has approximately by looking at it, and exactly in the online description. Every movie I buy has its length listed on the product. That can of coffee may be half empty (as was pointed out), but I can still estimate the volume of the can.
Determining what is “fair” in the cost vs. time arena will ultimately have to be a consumers’ choice. Making it an informed choice is the only way I can think of to make it more “fair”.
I seldom buy a game without first reading reviews, so I usually know what to expect. At some point these determinations will always boil down to “Buyers beware”.-Steve Ehrensperger
