Playing video games can be time-consuming. A Brazilian video game publisher wants to change that.
Not so with Short N Sweet’s games, which may run as short as two to four hours, the label’s founder tells Axios.“A significant number of players just want to chill and play a nice, fun game on, say, a Tuesday evening or any short time window,” Short N Sweet founder Paulo Luis Santos tells Axios.Santos says his company’s market research shows that people are looking for shorter games but can’t find them, especially on consoles.
He also believes developers would benefit from a label that can successfully sell short games. “We really want to remove the pressure of adding content for the sake of game length, allowing developers to make their game last as long as they envision it to keep it to the highest quality they can.” Though Santos says Short N Sweet is still working out pricing for games, he says they’re “committed to pricing them in a way that’s fair and affordable to our community but at the same time fairly rewards the devs and us.”Game publishers have long pointed to lengthy playing times as justification for console and PC games’ relatively high costs, and in recent years, some of the biggest publishers have built business models aroundBut backlash hits from time to time.
