23:35I do 1€ per hour too, mostly
23:37There are people who buy one game a year who only buy stuff like zelda or gta
23:43i also almost always go for sales outside of franchises i'm heavily invested in though
23:45don't forget story or replayability
23:46if I want it its worth it, keep it simple
23:46"This will distract me from the crushing misery of reality and add some illusion purpose to my existence" *add to cart*
23:4920 dollars for a game vs blowing 30 to 40 bucks seeing a shitty movie at the cineplex
23:50Elin is $20 and i got over 600 hours. def worth it. or i got PoE 2 for free and ahve 400 hours so def worth it :grinning_face:
23:51I make enough money so buying a bad game wont ruin me

23:54I just wait years until AAA is <15€ since I rarely enjoy them enough
24:13I am signed up for Gundam New Type challenges and all the Heroin cups are during them :loudly_crying_face:
24:22I've been working full time in software for almost 2 decades and I don't really look at prices anymore

24:312$ per is fair too, but 10$ per is awful, hence refund below 2h for 20$
24:32what about $80 for 4 hours campaign? :grinning_face:
24:49As long as I enjoy my time. I'm ok with spending $60 for 10-12 hours of a game where I had a great time. Even better if it is replayable.
25:09so no paying $60 for mixtap eand palying for 3 hours? :grinning_squinting_face:
25:13Oddly, since I have some games that are GREAT ongoing value, getting slightly less value from some other games evens out.
25:16I've spend like 2 dollars on a game and gotten 100+ hrs of play out of it. I've also spent 60+ dollars on games and stopped playing after a few hrs.
25:23it feels in the math here that if the maker is a AA or AAA studio that a suitable multiplier should be applied in the math now you bring this up
25:27:chart_decreasing::chart_decreasing::chart_decreasing:
25:32yeah... needs to be good enjoyment, not a repetitive grind to 100% achievements
25:37its going into the ground
25:47Dats why I invest in watching cute vtubers
25:51I think time reflecting on, thinking about, talkcing about, etc the game also counts towards the game.
25:53"big publisher" multiplier
25:55I don't apply any multiplier to AAA, I just wait until they're 75%+ off
25:59yes, if it's triple A then $1 per 5 hours :grinning_face:
26:01Happiness up joy up laughter up
26:06that's why I mostly buy cheap indie games tbh...
26:23Meanwhile I've gotten 150 hours out of a 10 hour game with Metroid Dread. Price per hour is a lie :_emberMonch:
26:28$30 games are the "your friends make you buy and you never play it again after 1 session" tier of games
26:28my backlog is cramped so realistically I probably shouldn't even buy new games:_emberMonch:
26:29Market psychology was one of the most interesting things we studied.
26:29like how McDonalds isn't worth $25 for a burger meal
26:40I just round it up internally to the next dollar or the next 10$
26:48Just try to put your One Piece blinders on
26:52but sadly the .99$ works on a lot of people it seems
26:53just play RoN when it's on sale with the girlies
