The price of games is perfectly reasonable it. The value of money is related to the time it takes you to make it.
The decision to purchase something should follow a similar logic, in the case of games it should be related to how many hours of enjoyment will you get out of it.
While the ratio of hour many hours of enjoyment is worth and hour of work will vary from person to person, but on these boards I figure it should really matter much as most of us get paid decently for our time.
example $30/hr pay rate
a $60 game will take you about 2 hours recoup the expense.
if the game offers 10 hours of solid enjoyment isn't it worth 2 hours of work?
What about 20 hours of enjoyment?
