For me personally, I find it really easy to add "hours" to a game's runtime, and I'd sooner pay more for a higher quality experience and a shorter runtime. I've spent about a fifth of that 1000 mark in both Baldur's Gate 3 and Elden Ring, and they'd have been worth $100 to me. Indiana Jones was worth every bit of the $70 I paid, and it took me under 20 hours.
