I strongly suspect that we just prefer different sorts of games. I wouldn't expect 1 hour per $1 from a modern AAA FPS, but I also wouldn't buy them anyway for the most part, so that doesn't really affect my purchasing habits at all (nor would I factor into their cost analysis as a result). All of the FPS games I've bought lately have been $10-$15 "boomer shooters".
I don't buy modern AAA FPS either, but that's because they've been chasing those longer play times lately, or they end up not particularly interesting like Immortals of Aveum and then blame the market for not buying their game. I'm waiting for the indie scene to get past boomer shooters and start emulating the era just after that, and I'll gladly pay more than $15 to have it. There are a couple of candidates, but nothing for sure.
Anything upcoming that you're particularly excited about?
In the shooter space, just things I'm hopeful for, but I don't know how likely it is they'll scratch that itch. I've got my eyes on Mouse, Core Decay, and Phantom Fury.
