Most genres really.

Even a 60 euros for a 6 hour experience comes at 10 euro per hour, cheaper than music and on par with movies.

Add replayability, multiplayer, longer games, cheaper games, ... and many many games are under 1 euro per hour, sometimes far under. Even someone playing fifa or call of duty has a price to hour ratio thats absurdly good.

And the range available is insane, used to be if you liked some genre you had maybe a game once every two years, now there are so many that not only you can't play all your games, even a seasonned gigantic fan of gaming cannot know all good games released anymore.



Cheaper than music?! Not while Spotify is around. Assuming my listening stats are accurate I hover around 2ยข/hr annually.


You don't own that music / the licence to that music. If you want to use renting service as the price, then PS Now, Xbox Gamepass, EA Play and the like are what you should use and then the price is much, much cheaper.


I agree in general, it is just that books also score very well in this metric.
