    The average movie isnt worth ticket price either IMO, and length certainly doesn’t equal quality.

    And I’d certainly say “most games” are absolutely not worth it, as the majority of games are simply lacking in terms of inspiration, innovation, compelling gameplay or story, or anything else to set it apart and give me a reason to play.

      The worth of a thing is determined by what people will pay for it.

      length certainly doesn’t equal quality.

      For any single product that’s true, statistically it makes the two classes (games and movies) comparable.

      I don’t think you’ll earnestly want to argue that 1 hour of movie entertainment is in general worth multiple hours of gaming entertainment. There are good and bad movies and games, but if you compare those of similar quality, the fact stands that the game will give you more for your money. Whether you want more of course depends on you - I gather that gaming doesn’t seem to really entertain you for the most part.
