That's an average price of a AAA game, right? And what kind of utility do you get from that?

Just did a quick check... I bought it in Sept of 2012, 2323 days ago.

$70 / (2323 day * 6 hrs/day) = $0.005/hr

Did I get my money's worth (and mind you, I paid less than that.. I'm just going by today's prices)? I think I did. It all depends on how you value things.

Not trying to make any value judgement of my own here, but I think the parent was more referring to the marginal cost/benefit of a $60 font compared to some of the free options available.

Except that most expensive AAA games don't have free counterparts...

Not all fonts have free counterparts. “Serif” and “sans serif” don’t always mean fungible.
