If that cost goes above $1/hr I’ll probably just not buy. That’s my base cost I’ll accept for paying for a game. If I’ve gotten $1/hr I find that I’ve gotten my moneys worth
So I should have paid about $5000 to Tencent because I played League of Legends?
Absolute dogshit. Nobody owns rights to the output of my attention span. Nobody gets to tap my wallet like it's a tree.
Who the fuck is saying otherwise?
Tap. Tap. It's not working.
Way to completely miss the point.
Nobody is saying that you should be paying minimum $1/hr, I’m saying that if I’m getting less playtime than equates to $1/hr I haven’t gotten my moneys worth and I don’t find that the game would be worth buying.
Oh heck. How did I miss that this wasn't another subscription thing like Unity? I'm hearing old adages during a weird time.
Just because someone has some criteria that they use to judge value for money doesn't mean that you have to follow it...
