Risk takes forever because setting up and rolling dice takes forever. Same with Axis and Allies.

The moment you put it on a computer it becomes fairly fast and ... actually most of the gravitas goes away.

Similarly with digital Monopoly. It also defaults to having no "house rules" that do nothing but make the game take longer. You can finish a game of electronic monopoly in 20 min. Since the games are shorter the stakes aren't as high and it doesn't feel bad to lose.
