The less someone actually plays games, the more this idea will make sense to them.

Gamers, especially older gamers, will know this is a BS metric.

"We were going to charge $60 but then we added 40 hours of tailing side quests so now we're charging $120" - Ubisoft.

Hours of gameplay is a god awful metric and only a corporate dipshit could utter such a stupid fucking sentence.

4k+ hours on path of exile. I played D2 probably more hours than my kids have been alive.
