The fun in gta starts after the story is done though. Thats when you can spend thousands of more hours in it
Comment on GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour

Sure thing! GTA 5 average game time was 52h (main+extras), so its price is then about $1 per hour.
Have fun implementing the payment system that reliably measures and bills this, internationally!

Yeah, but dollars per hour is stupid. I care more about enjoyment per hour. Just maximizing play time is what has cause open world games to be boring as hell. I’d rather spend less time with a game that’s more enjoyable over a shorter period than more time doing the same few activities over and over and getting nothing out of it.

To be fair, for most games which you actually choose to continue playing, enjoyment per hour must be at or above a certain threshold otherwise you’d stop playing.

Well, there are a lot of psychological tricks that can be used to make us keep doing things we aren’t enjoying. We’re just big dumb apes who are easy to manipulate.
