Honestly I was feeling that way even before I subbed to Gamepass for the first time in 2020. Even going back to last gen, nearly every game I purchased at the full $60 price was either a huge singleplayer RPG with more than 1 hour of content per dollar (games like Fallout 4, Final Fantasy XV, Witcher 3, and Dragon Age Inquisition), or a game with multiplayer I could play for hundreds of hours (Halo MCC, Halo 5, Dead By Daylight, CoD, etc.). Other games I played last gen I either bought in a physical or digital sale, or played day one via Gamefly which was $16 a month back then.

So do you count everything in dollars per hour? I mean going to a movie must be out of the question for you then.

I'm pretty budget conscious on movies too. Movie tickets are now up to $12 a ticket at my local theater, about double what they cost around 20 years ago. I think I only watched 2 movies in theater last year, everything else I waited for home rental or streaming service to watch. Some years I will watch more movies in theater than last year, but I don't think I have seen more than maybe 5 movies in theater any year since ticket prices passed the $10 mark.

Looking at 2024's release slate, I only see 2 that I will probably watch in theater this year, Sonic 3 and Ghostbusters: Fallen Empire. I can wait for Disney+ on others that interest me like Deadpool & Wolverine and Inside Out 2, Disney usually puts their movies on Disney+ within 6 months of the theatrical release. Others I will wait and rent on Blu-ray at a local Redbox kiosk, like Venom 3, Alien: Romulus, the Borderlands movie, and Furiousa: A Mad Max Saga.
