Game length and fun are not directly correlated.

I can spend 4-5 hours playing a good board game, and enjoy it immensely and go back to it anytime.

Risk is not a great game regardless of length of play. Sure it’s enjoyable playing on PC, but there are still many more enjoyable games tabletop or PC.

This is true, for me at least, due to the fact that it’s fairly shallow plus it involves too much luck. I enjoy deeper games that are less reliant on luck (though I still enjoy games with some luck/randomization).

Not everyone has time for 5 hours of "fun". Let alone when games like Gloomhaven are best played on a consistent basis until it's completed.
