And how many hours will you play those games?
-
Depends on how long you play until you run into a game breaking bug and realize you're now SOL.

Exactly. Videogames are some of the best value for entertainment you can find. There are a couple of games in my steam library that have cost me a few cents per hour of fun.

Paradox games, even with all the DLC, I get thousands of hours out of them. I definitely get my money's worth that I don't mind spending $20 on them every few months.

Exactly. So many people hate on them for their DLC policy, but if it's your jam, having a game get freshened up every year for $15-20 or whatever for another few hundred hours is totally worth it.

Especially if you compare them to a casino.

I bought Sharknado VR for half a dollar. Took less than half an hour to beat that mess. Worth it.

Most of them? 0.
Heck, most of them will sit there in the library list forgotten, to be absentmindedly scrolled past in five years' time with the thought "I really should install that game and give it a try... someday..."

Mmm, yes, the blessed consumptionism

I blame bundles. I'll go to Fanatical or Humble or something and see 1-2 games I want to try, then buy the whole bundle. I'm lucking if I actually play those 1-2 games from the bundle...
That said, I've found some great games that way, so I think I get value from it. But the number of games I have vs games I have actually played is a depressingly low ratio, but I think I spend less than I would if I only bought the games I was about to play.
