I'm really skeptical about this campaign play thing. I think, yeah, people totally miss it. But given that people complain about the length of Bliss Stage and Polaris (both around 2-8 sessions) and keep looking for ways to shorten the games, I think that there's not an actual demand for long games, in terms of people really playing them, rather than just imagining playing them.
I think that missing campaign play is really missing the period of your life when you had enough time to play a campaign game. It's nostalgia, rather than true demand.
