Ex-video game developer here. The games industry uses those exact metrics to measure their success.
I decided to leave the games industry after it was revealed that our latest release had a 14 year old kid who was playing, non-stop in 48-hour bursts .. and the game company execs loved it. Like, they were ecstatic that they had this 14-year olds' attention like that.
That was enough for me to realise that the video game industry is destructive, and has evil intent for our society...
Maybe computer games should show a pop up after a couple of hours of play, suggesting it may be a good time to take a break. Preferably at a nice save point.
