-Given that [[Negotiable Game Instance Duration]] lets players have control over how long a game instance should take and thereby lets them fit the gameplay time with other activities, it provides [[Social Adaptability]] and lessens the occurrence of [[Early Leaving Players]]. It may not provide [[Social Adaptability]] to the same level as [[Drop-In/Drop-Out]] gameplay, but it does ensure that players can perceive the whole gameplay and have a greater sense of [[Togetherness]] with the other players.
