Starfield’s 20-Minute, $7 Bounty Hunter Quest: The Kotaku Review. The first paid DLC for Bethesda's big space RPG is overpriced, paltry, and emphasizes the game's lifelessness. (kotaku.com)

I like to do things cost per hour. A $60 dollar video game that gives me 120 hours of content is $0.50 an hour. Pretty good if you ask me.

Going to the movies is $20 for 2 hours. $10 an hour. Pretty high, sometimes worth it. That's about my gauge.

This is $21 an hour. For that I better be having just an amazing time, I better be at Disneyland or something.

    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.
