    I’ve spent $160 on Elden Ring (base game on PC and PS5 and I have the DLC on PC), and have spent 638.5 hours in it just on Steam. That’s about $0.25/hour. Even arcade games aren’t that cheap anymore!

      I’ve got >1000 hours in Microsoft Flight Simulator and I paid $100 for the deluxe edition. 10 cents an hour, at most.

        When I bought my buddy’s used GameCube for like $50 back in 2005, he gave me an extra controller and Smash Bros. Melee with it.

        Just on that game alone I logged more than 2,000 hours playing almost literally every day for 4 years alongside my dorm-mates and buddies.

        That’s like… $0.02 and a half cents per hour… for a whole ass GameCube and a game.

        …Best purchase I ever made.
