    “Hours to dollars” is not the end all be all of a good game. I have like 25 hours on the Outer Wilds and is one of my favorite games of all time. I also have hundreds of hours in Skyrim, and it’s also one of my favorite games of all time

      Yeah and I have thousands of hours in League of Legends, but have probably enjoyed only about 10 minutes

      I find hours to dollars to be more useful for cheaper indie games or games on sale, where I feel more comfortable taking a chance on the $5 game knowing I’ll only “need” to spend 5 hours playing to justify the purchase to myself. I also don’t really feel bad about not finishing games once I hit the golden ratio of hours to dollars.
