Games Work in Bite-sized Chunks and Hour-long Sessions

As Zynga's players log into FarmVille and CityVille for only minutes at a time which is a drastic change from a few years ago, when even shorter play sessions would still be upwards of 20 minutes. Play sessions could be as long as 10 hours for bigger online games like World of Warcraft or The Morrowind.

Those kinds of play sessions still exist, because traditional games persist and they demand longer attention spans. But companies like Zynga are able to attract millions of players which have 277 million with bite-sized play sessions. Video game does not bring boredom though it is short or long sessions, as it keeps the players completely involved in it.
