If the player is lost within the first hour, you are screwed.

That is true if the player has already paid for your game in a retail store. If you sell your games online by giving players demos, you have much, much less than an hour.

Which is why I think one of the most important innovative directions is to _preserve_ gameplay from hardcore retail titles and package it in an instantly accessible form.
