Never pay more than 20 bucks [1] for a computer game.

[1] as of 1990. $48.94 adjusted for inflation.

Depends on the game for me, there are definitely games that I get $80 worth of value.

Hundreds of hours of enjoyment for $70 seems like a good trade.

> Hundreds of hours of enjoyment for $70

I'm not sure that $/hour is a great way to evaluate games, since it would encourage developers to pad games out with repetitive content.

[selfhoster11]

That would be the "hours of engagement" metric, not "hours of enjoyment". The optimist in me hopes that people can tell the difference and disengage if a developer tries to intentionally confuse the two.

Repetitive content isn't enjoyable :)

[mcphage]

Well… sometimes it is.
