$20 for a two hour movie ($10 per hour) sure
$70 for a game ($7 per hour if you only play 10 hours) no way.
Though I am a fan of pirate first, pay when they fix the bugs. The low quality of games at release and the whole seemingly 10 year pre-release cycle sucks.
You pay $20 for a two hour movie? Holy shit!
Guess he talking about theatre visit
Yes, I know. Seems like a lot to me.
The tcket alone is between $10 and $20, add any snacks... But it was just an example. Think of anything you do for entertainment (that you actually pay for), and the cost per hour. Games are pretty cheap. Like do you have any streaming services? I do, but I play games more than I watch tv, so games come out cheaper.
All in all, people complain about the cost, but usually get hundreds of hours of entertainment out of a single game.
I do pay for movie theater, but it only cost 6€50 in my country. Granted that the cost of living is different but not by that much.
I don't pay for movies either lol
$20 for a movie is way too much and it also doesn't require $1000 hardware to watch it
