Enjoyment/$ is the metric to use, or maybe (enjoyment/h)/$.

Or, as I stated, "worth the money." I'm not interested in turning it into a hard formula, universally transferable. As you noted, there's too many variables. I was stating that the money was well spent. That's it.

OK, but you didn't say that. You said worth the $/h, which is a common metric people use but is less than worthless.

$/h is useful because it isa universally transferable measure. Enjoyment is not, but is actually what we care about.

I'm just trying to work to remove $/h as something people discuss, because it's ruined so many games.
