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.

I think this isn't a fair question. Novelty is an important part of value. People pay to see new movies more than old, new games are more exciting. It's really not quantifiable per hour, as perhaps the first hour is the best. The point you seem to be making is that video games are cheap entertainment evaluated per hour. I think that's true. I would not pay 40 dollars for 40 hrs of gaming though.
