Including DLC, micro transaction purchases, etc. If you got a game for free, please also list your non-infinite next best.

For me it’s Team Fortress 2. $100 total spent on hats and the Orange Box back in the day, 4200 hours plus of fun, meaning 2.3¢ AUD per hour. Initially I thought DotA2 would be my best but it turns out I’ve spent a lot more money in that game than I thought…

My worst is God of War: Ragnarok. Bought it full price for $95 AUD, only played 2 hours and hated it, meaning $47.50 AUD per hour.

        Oh Gleba my beloved hellhole. Just remember, if your plant stuff isn’t moving, throw a spoilage filter on it!

      That’s nuts. If they bought it on release and played everyday since then it works out at 8 hours a day. That’s more than a full time job!

          Hmm… I was going off Wikipedia which says 2020 - I guess the earlier release was an alpha.

          In any case having your factories running in the background (overnight?) would quickly bump up those hours. Not sure it’d make for a very interesting stream though!

            It might not necessarily be running. But factorio is a game that’s very conducive to you hopping in for a few minutes at a time, so some players have it paused a lot of the time when they’re alt tabbed instead of closing it.

              Ah I see. I’ve only played Mindustry (2D Java/ Android equivalent) and if I left that running overnight I’d wake up to complete devastation!
