Bingewatching just frequently doesn't work for me from a time standpoint.
My partner gets home from work around 7, we'll generally sit and talk for a few minutes before making dinner, so dinner isn't ready until between 8 and 9 depending on complexity. As long as it's not like, Hannibal, we can start watching TV with dinner, but we both try to go bed between 11 and 12, so on a good day we might have time for four forty five minutes episodes of television?
But with direct streaming stuff, forty five minute episodes are becoming less and less common, and that's all assuming that neither of us wants/needs to do something besides watching television.

Hell most of the time when I get around to finally watching a show its a good 2-3 years after the hype has died down.
I think binge watching is just hard for me because I hate being rooted in place not feeling like I'm doing anything for too long.
That's why I do other things at the same time! "I'm not bludging on the couch, I'm marking papers (extremely slowly)!"
Alan Wake did this, but the “episodes” were just chapter delineations, not actually separate parts of a video game.
Which would have been the sensible way to word that idea.

If you release all of a video game at the same time it's just a normal release
It's like when some silicon valley jackhole invents something that has existed forever by coming at it from the dumbest possible angle

but
a. only if the episodes are a half hour long
b. the season doesn't have like, more than twelve of 'em
i can gladly give up like 4-5 hours to one complete work
for longer stuff, i think i can do the 3 hour old-timey miniseries with 90 minute episodes, or you standard 6-hour long episode mini
anything longer than that, no matter how well paced it claims to be, is just too much of a slog, and i'll divvy up accordingly.
Like I'd be more inclined to bingewatch stuff if the kids didn't go to bed so late
time is so limited
and I have to be up so early
