This shows that you only value cost of production and duration as opposed to enjoyment of finished product.

a 10 hour movie with $1bn budget, is not automatically better value to anyone than any other film ever with the same ticket price at a cinema. The film they enjoyed the most is the best value. That applies equally to games.


No, it doesn't. It shows that I understand value and you clearly do not. I think the original TLOU is that amazing. My personal opinion doesn't mean it wasn't a game worth $60. A 10 hour film with a budget of $1bn would not have the same ticket price of any other film. It would be 5x more expensive than a normal ticket. Film length doesn't vary like game length does. If there was a $15 movie ticket for a 20 minute short film, no one would buy it, because it's a rip off.


Surely this is a contradition.

If someone doesn't like Halo, but thinks the Last of Us was the best game ever made and would do anything to be able to play it at 60fps, how is MCC going to be better value than the PS4 port of The Last of Us?

You confirm with this that "value" is subjective.

The 20 minute short film example just shows that most people still have limits as to what they deem acceptable to pay a set price for.
