Retail Price & Play Time -Versus- Indie Price & Play Time

[Kriven]

I tend not to spend my own money on games that will cost more than twenty dollars. That's pretty much my threshold for individual experiences isolated to a screen. Really, the time I'm going to spend with the game doesn't influence my decision all that much... I mean, mind-numbing grinding will make me more reluctant to purchase, which is why I don't get a whole lot of open-world games with lots of repetitive missions and sidequests...

time-wasted:money-spent is a bigger concern for me than time-playing:money-spent.

And as someone with fleeting hours of mortality, longer is not always better.
