I understand that there is always a value side to buying a product, but I'm talking about the hard ratios that people are throwing around in this thread. Does anybody really sit down and do the math on what they will be getting as far as hr/$? That just seems odd to me...

...its not like its hard math. You should be able to figure out the ratio in less that 5seconds in your head if you know the length and the price

I'm saying hard like rigid, not hard like difficult and why would you do it anyways? Is somebody going to go "aww damn, this game will probably cost me $1.15/hr, better find something else." If you were deciding between a game like The Order and a game like Bloodborne, it should be a wide enough gap that you'd never need to bother with the math, and if it's close enough that you need to do the math, does the value difference really merit any thought?
