Including DLC, micro transaction purchases, etc. If you got a game for free, please also list your non-infinite next best.

For me it's Team Fortress 2. $100 total spent on hats and the Orange Box back in the day, 4200 hours plus of fun, meaning 2.3¢ AUD per hour. Initially I thought DotA2 would be my best but it turns out I've spent a lot more money in that game than I thought...

My worst is God of War: Ragnarok. Bought it full price for $95 AUD, only played 2 hours and hated it, meaning $47.50 AUD per hour.

That's nuts. If they bought it on release and played everyday since then it works out at 8 hours a day. That's more than a full time job!

    Not quite, factorio first released in 2012. They didn't get to Steam till much later. Also, it's not uncommon to have the game running or paused even if you're not playing.

    Hmm... I was going off Wikipedia which says 2020 - I guess the earlier release was an alpha.

    In any case having your factories running in the background (overnight?) would quickly bump up those hours. Not sure it'd make for a very interesting stream though!

    It might not necessarily be running. But factorio is a game that's very conducive to you hopping in for a few minutes at a time, so some players have it paused a lot of the time when they're alt tabbed instead of closing it.
