At wastedonsteam.com you can see how much you averagely payed per hour gametime. Not very accurate, since they're taking the current price for a game

Yeah :/
In the moment it calculates the price/hour you'd have to pay if you wanted to play from now on and don't buy any sales. Since i only buy games that are on sale and below a certain threshold, this value is like an upper border for the real price i payed which is kinda useful to know

Neither do I, especially if the game is good story/gameplay wise. I bought Bioshock 1 & 2 both at full price, didn't get more than 10 hours each, but I do not regret it. They were quite fun.
This is more of an afterthought after playing a game. You look at your playtime and think, "Yup. I got my money's worth from that game."
For example, I bought Borderlands for $20, and I have 264 hours on it. Totally worth the 20 bucks.

Yeah it isn't all qualitative. I'd pay good money for a well-written and fun game that might only be 8 hours long. Quality of the game itself is a big factor for me. I mean, you might play for hundreds of hours and be left ultimately unsatisfied. If I'm satisfied with the product, then it was worth the purchase.

Same as me. Since going to the movies is like $5 - $10 for 2 hours, I usually consider I got a bargain if I spent at least 1 hour per $1 spent. I mostly buy games on sale so I usually get at least 2 hours of entertainment per $1 spent though.

If you prefer a 60 hour long shitty game over a 10 hour game full of awesome for 60 bucks, then your mindset has issues.
You really can't measure a game's worth that way. Skyrim sure has a great longevity, except 80% of your playtime is freeroaming in the world, which isn't exactly necessarily fun.

I don't measure per play time as the entertainment value I receive doesn't remain constant for each hour or every game.

In general, what do you guys think is a good ratio of price per play time in order for a game to be worth it? Like, at least 10 hours from a $5 game, etc...?
