Getting your money's worth

[Kwami]

I'm unconvinced by the cost/time metric. The more you play the game, the smaller the potential difference in cost per hour from original purchase price gets - 30p per hour versus 40p per hour ain't much. Seems like you could always get your money's worth so long as you play enough.

I think it's more useful to compare purchase cost versus game quality. Instead of asking myself 'did I get my money's worth?', maybe 'did the game warrant that cost?' Atm, my answer to that is no. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed the game and sunk a lot of hours into it - but if I could've chosen how much I wanted to pay for it, I definitely would've paid less. There's other games that are higher quality for a lower price.

But why have you sunk so many hours into a game that you don't think is very good?

I don't think it is very good, but I still think it is good. Plus, I still enjoy playing it, which isn't the same as what quality I consider it to be.

I bought civ VI with all DLCs and I only enjoyed probably a few hours with the Heroes expansion that i would say it was worth.
It was too easy, no AI. In the End it was a waste of (a lot of) money.
I'm not making the same mistake until I do not see some actual good AI only gameplay with spectator mod for C7.
This time around my wallet is buckled up jack straight.

Even though I paid the total sum and got this game early, I was here when it came out early and I was able to play it online until its capabilities. We were on discord and everything. Now I haven't been online to check or to know. Maybe I'm online in the wrong times to tell. I feel like I got my money's worth. Carthage DLC was so fun to use.
