      Fallout 4 was released 2,985 days ago.

      12,000/2,985 = an average of 4 hours a day, every day, no days off.

      Probably the best value purchase you’ll make in your life.

        that’s why, after around 10k hours, I finally paid for it, lol.

            also, it was on sale. GOTY Edition + all DLCs for, like, $15. why not?

            I got more out of that game than anything else I ever pirated (except, maybe, my copies of TNG, DS9, VOY, and all 20 seasons of Law & Order), so I thought: why not pay for it? it was totally worth it!

                I’m 44. also, I spent most of my life freelancing/working from home, and, through covid and for a long time afterwards, unemployed— so lots of free time.

                also, I haven’t played it in about a year, although a new Mod, Fallout: London just came out, so I may just kiss a few hundred hours goodbye on that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          That’s what I did with Far Cry 3, but couldn’t get the stupid launcher to work on linux, so ended up pirating it again.Great work Ubisoft!

          Hmm, what did it cost at launch? Probably $60?

          6,000 cents / 12,000 hours = 0.5 cents per hour.

            wow, that’s value! especially considering I only paid $15 for it on sale a few years ago! I played a pirated version until recently, then eventually paid for it. it was just such an incredible game, it thought: why not?

              0.125 cents per hour! A thousand times better value than a movie!
