Description
howlongtobeat.com is a great resource for getting a rough sense of how long it might take to finish a game. I would love to have an HLTB average imported along with the rest of the game's metadata so I can query it with Datatables (e.g. find all games in my Media DB that take less than 6 hours to complete).
There's probably a range of settings that could complicate this further, but I'd personally be happy with the most basic implementation, just getting the "Main Story" (or whichever category is listed first) average. There's an API wrapper available here: https://github.com/ckatzorke/howlongtobeat
