The same goes for many books, movies, albums and album tracks, etc.
Ultimately it's all down to the quality of the narrative and the emotional experience, not the length.
Don't think to "stretch" a game. I totally understand, that it is bad for a game to stretch is just to make it longer. But there are some really good games longer than 100 hours without to be stretched!
When people are talking about the length, nobody means a stretched game, we all are about full-time fascination without to get boring.
