> For the price of a movie ticket and a coke, you can get a dozen hours of entertainment. That seems like a pretty good deal to me.

Or maybe the movie ticket with overpriced coke is just a bad deal?

A lot of it is also pretty relative down to a personal level and preferences: Some people can entertain themselves with a deck of cards, not even worth $1, for a nearly unlimited amount of time.

Think about entertainment options and name one that is a better deal than $60 for 20 hours worth. It's just not common, perhaps outside of books. Life is expensive and publicly available entertainment is far from an exception.

You can get a season pass to Six Flags for $60. What do I win?

I think I might be the winner here if I live anywhere near a Six Flags...

Is 20 hours 2 times more fun than 10 hours? If you look at negative steam reviews for gamers having played 100+ hours they would disagree
