Star Wars Fate of the Old Republic boss Casey Hudson is done with 100-hour games: "A lot of players just want to play something and finish it"

You can put hefty hours into the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect games. Epic, sweeping RPGs as they are, your playtime can easily push into three figures if you're doing all the side-quests and the like. Despite this, a veteran of those series, who's now leading Fate of the Old Republic, believes in refining the experience more.

Discussing his new studio Arcanaut Studios making a spiritual successor to Knights of the Old Republic duology, Casey Hudson made it clear to Bloomberg he believes less in more. "If I’m excited about a game and then I find out that it’s 200 hours long - even if I have no ambition to actually finish it - I wonder, if I put 20 hours in, will I even be out of act one?" he says. "A lot of players just want to play something and finish it."
