Notes -
These are fair points. Typically, when I read a claim that a game contains "20 hours of gameplay", I interpret that to mean "the average player on their first playthrough will take 20 hours to complete the main quest and all the sidequests". It would be churlish to claim that e.g. Half-Life "only" contains half an hour of gameplay, even though it can be beaten in that time. While expansions which change the base game's mechanics in such a way as to facilitate speedrunning could technically be said to have "contracted" the game, speedrunners are such a noncentral example of players that they hardly seem relevant.
