Avalanche Studios Boss Says He’d Trade In Games Too Because They’re Too Short

And the talk continues. Avalanche Studios boss Christofer Sundberg has told Edge that the reason gamers trade in games is because they are too short, and that he’d trade them in too.

Sundberg also revealed that Just Cause 2 still attracts “hundreds of thousands” of players daily, and reckoned that shorter game experiences got traded in more often.

I’m sure it’s been an issue but that’s because games have been too short. I mean when you can play a game through from 8 to 10 hours, I would return the game too, because there’s no reason for players to play it again.

If you’re offering little variation, then there’s no motivation for the player to keep that game – unless they want to have a nice bookshelf. That’s why we answered that with Just Cause. I go into game stores each week and I always go to the used game boxes – I usually don’t find that many [copies of Just Cause].

Avalanche confirmed that it’s currently working on Mad Max to be published by Warner Bros. No release date was given.
