I think it depends. A DVD of LOTR would provide 3 hours for a mere mortal, but for a goblin like myself that guy is gonna be on repeat for a while.
With games there’s definitely more per dollar (in my opinion) but I don’t know if I like that metric or way to think about gaming. If I had to pay for every hour of gaming I’d have it would definitely reduce the time and enjoyment of the material.
The thing about the CEO and whatnot is that they have alternate revenue streams for a single game. I haven’t played GTA Online but I’m sure there’s lots of microtransactions and DLC and such for them to extract money from.
Yeah agreed. Everything is very subjective to the end user. I’m one of those folks who watches a movie once and then probably will never watch it again. Purchasing physical media movie doesn’t meet my specific consumption model.
Games are often problematic for my turbo-ADHD brain. Most games I play for less than a couple hours before I quit playing never to launch it again. It’s rare that I click with a game long enough to “get my money’s worth”. Notable exceptions are city builders and factory optimization games. Those I can invest hundreds of hours into.
For me, the Xbox pc game pass has saved me sooooo much money. I can try lots of games with a guilt free wallet without acquiring games through alternative free methods.
