what ever happened to buying a game and it taking forever to finish
Games are short and that sucks but I think the reason is the complexity. With the better graphics and more intricate characters/interaction it just takes longer and longer to developed a game so they end up just being shorter. If they made a regular shooter like Gears with a 40 hour campaign it would take 5 years to develop. The AAA titles already take 2 or 3 years sometimes.

That's why COD5 was just a re-skin of COD4. It gives the developer 2+ years to make a totally new COD6. Even then the SP is only going to be about 5 hours long.
