As the title says, it questions you GHG fans on what game length you usually go with when playing GDT.

I usually go for the 35-year game length, which is recommended.

Yeah, usually 35 years, but I think I did 42 once.

I did 35 years when I didn’t notice it. But mostly 42 years.

I always do 30 years for some reason. 42 days is too long for me and 35 is kinda the usual sameold sameold.

Usually 42 years, I want to enjoy each console and make good games. The problem with 30Y length, it’s that you have to quickly release game on the newest consoles, you can at best make 3/4 games on a console before a newer console is released. In bonus, you have to generate more design / technology points in your games in shorter period of time.

I always make games on one platform, and when I get a new game engine part for every part in game development, I release a new game on a better console. That’s one of the reasons I like 42 years.

Can somebody please tell me how to edit the length of the game??

When you start a new game, look at the upper-right corner of the pop-up, you’ll see a gear. Click on the gear and you can choose between 30, 35 or 42 years.
