The honest entertainment benchmark
Cinema works out to roughly $5–$8 per hour of entertainment. Under $1/hour a game is elite value; under $3 it's beating almost everything else you could spend on. This is also the correct math for justifying a purchase to yourself.
The backlog corollary
A sale game you never launch costs infinity per hour. The cheapest game is the one you actually finish — run last month's impulse buys through this before the next sale.
