Negotiable Play Sessions
Support for players to be able to decide how long individual play sessions should be without negatively affecting the outcome of a game.
Many times playing a game is done over several play sessions. Players may have different preferences on how long these should be, and individual players may change their preferences from play session to play session. Games that include design options to let players have varying lengths of their play sessions without disrupting the gameplay progression (but not necessarily the gameplay experience) can be said to have Negotiable Play Sessions.
