> pouring a hundred mindless hours

This phrase alone speaks volumes. I never understood why people measure games by hours, much less why they measure a game's quality by it. Over the course of my life, I've probably played Super Metroid for over 100 hours. Likewise for the first six MegaMan games. I don't see the point in measuring their worth by length of time played. One can spend 100 hours playing Jump Rope Challenge. That doesn't make it a good game.
