Add HowLongToBeat.com to video game pricing info
The HowLongToBeat page is dedicated to collecting the duration of a video game until it is completed. They estimate how much longer your video game will last.
They measure duration time in 3 main categories:
Main Story: directly complete the main campaign mode
Main + Sides: complete the campaign mode + all sides quest
Completionist: complete the campaign mode + all sides quests + all collectibles in the game
It would be great if at least the basic data is added, that is "Main Story" so we find out just how long a game will take to complete, it is very useful when choosing a game to play since as an adult the time that we have is limited.
The ideal is to put only the duration of the "Main Story" since that gives a general idea of the minimum that the game will last, I think that "Main + Sides" and "Completionist" is only for a hardcore player and not the average game collector.
It would be nice to have that data here and not have to change websites.

If you could integrate this to the point of filtering by length in collection/wishlist, that would be perfect for prioritizing what to play.
I love the idea, I always use How Long To Beat it's very useful for me, especially to know how much time I should dedicate to a game. I don't have much time to play games, and I usually choose games that last 5 to 10 hours at most. It's impossible for me to play games that last 50 or 90 hours.
I think it should show the Main Story length by default, and include a drop-down menu to select "Main + Sides" and "Completionist."
But if you only include the Main Story length, it's more than enough for me, since it gives you an idea of how long it will take to complete.
