Not to mention that not all gaming hours are equally fungible.
There can be shorter narrative games where a given hour is worth more (to me), so the higher per hour cost is justified.
People spend like $20 to watch a 2 hour movie, $1/hr isn’t that unreasonable

Agree 100%. Played Dispatch last week and had a blast. Very short, but worth the money imo

To you perhaps. Cinema is less than half that cost here and even then I go less than once a year because I don’t really feel like most films that come out are worth bothering to see given the combined effort and cost.

2 hour movies are also competing with streaming services like Netflix where people can see as many hours of TV shows and movies as they want. Some just stick to youtube which requires no money and has some free movies there too.
Its like how people can drop hundreds and thousands of hours on f2p games without spending any money. $/hr valuation is outdated.
