I'm honestly curious to see what people think a game is truly worth in currency.
Let's assume that it's a new IP that runs 30FPS and 1080p
Much like Destiny itself.
Or let's say it a DLC/expansion. Same specs, new content and locations. New ways to play. New story. Perhaps a new character.
I honestly need to know what people think. Comment what you voted below.

[b][u]Edit 2[/u][/b]: Examples of entertainment we spend money on.
[u]Movies[/u] - $10+ for 1 1/2 - 3 hours entertainment. So less than $5 per hour. Can't keep the movie
[i]optional[/i] $1.50 for same time. Can't keep it.
[u]Bowling[/u]: $10 for an hour on a lane (at least where I'm at) per person. Can't keep the alley.
Any others for reference?

Alright, now that this post is kind of blowing up. With the general consensus being $1 per hour comment below how much Bungie would owe you if they paid you back for every hour you spent beyond the money you paid.
Look at that number. If you have complained that Destiny was not worth your time and money and you have more than 120 hours - why? I want to know.

There's a specific flaw in your question. Basically it doesn't take into account that not all "game hours" are created equal. Running a new quest on the Dreadnaught, seeing new areas for the first time, exploring hidden chambers...that's premium game time. But being given a quest that asks me to kill 3 VIP targets in all 5 locations, doing the same patrols I've always done...that's something Bungie should almost be paying me to do, because it has no entertainment value. You do it because you have to. I figure I spent about 5 hours doing the new quests on the Dreadnaught, and each of those was worth a couple of bucks to me. But most everything else has been taking me back to the same spots, just like Bungie always does. This value I would probably measure in pennies. Hope that makes sense.
