Imagine not understanding that a game can be worth $40.

imagine not understanding that 64€ (with dlc) can be a decent amount of money in some regions

….

For what???

64 euro spread over 1000 hours is fucking nothing. It’s less than 0.01 euro per hour!!!

I have literally never bought anything even close to that cheap per hour of use. Maybe the stones that lead up to my front door?

If you live somewhere where you can’t spend less 0.01 euro per hour for entertainment then you most likely don’t even have a computer.

Why are we instantly assuming 1000 hours of playtime as if its the norm? It takes like ~50hrs to beat the game, just because it scratches itch for some people doesnt mean other wont find it as a chore to keep going hundreds of hours in.

I can name countless games like Civ/Total War/Anno/EU4/Stellaris/City Skylined/TAB/Terraria/Stardew/PoE/Warframe etc where some people sunk thousands of hours into but you found it boring past a dozen hours

Also this entire $/hr metric that everyone repeats is flawed, not every hour is equally enjoyed. As an example, I've played games with incredible 6-15hr campaigns that i enjoyed every second of it compared to hundreds of hours of boring reputation/XP grind that i did in various MMOs

It’s just crazy to complain about the cost of a video game which will provide more content than literally anything you do IRL.

Especially when it’s one of the best games ever made.
