You can try to rationalize it all you want, bottom line is people don't have money to buy $80 games these days. Those people aren't going to the movies either.
I bought a rug that I've gotten years of value out of, should it have been thousands of dollars then? The idea that time used is how you measure value is flawed.

I mean, yeah, I never said it was a perfect basis for measuring the value of games or anything else in the world. It's just one metric, and by that measure it's a pretty good value for time of enjoyment. Congrats on the rug bro.
