So some guys just told me he justifies his gaming purchases based on the "1 hour for every $1" scale... meaning that for every dollar he uses he expects that much gaming time out of a game. That's a pretty dumb system, I'd say.

I don't purchase based on that statistic, but I keep track of it loosely. So far my best value per hour of entertainment is Final Fantasy X. I'm down under 1 cent per hour of fun

I understand if people want to get the most bang for their buck, but using that as their *only* indicator for purchasing a game is something that baffles me. I'm certain that most if not all of us buy games for enjoyment, not to nitpick-calculate the hours you spend vs. the money you spend.
Anyways, he shut up after I told him TF2 was free-to-play. He's an avid TF2 player, but apparently he didn't know TF2 went F2P... suspicious.

Yeah, I never use it as my only indicator of purchasing, but in certain situations it does come up. I wouldn't buy a $60 game that's ~8 hours long, and if a game keeps me entertained for at least as much as I paid for it I'd consider it a good purchase.
It's not really how long it'll last me, it's more like how long it'll keep me engaged.
