I'm cool with getting an hour of entertainment from a game for every initial dollar I spend and 2 hours per dollar on everything I buy in game after that. But I don't really play competitive games online either.

I know a lot of people probably won't agree and it's Lemmy, so at least 10% of the people reading this are instantly pissed I don't exclusively play FOSS games. 🤷🏻😂
