I'm one game Andy... I only buy games where I know I can squeeze the most out of it
View PC info
Years: 2
Games owned: 230
Games played: 112 (48%)
Hours on record: 661.7h
Average playtime: 5.9h
Value: £691 (Today's prices: £2382)
Average price per hour: £1.03 (All games), £1.03 (Only paid games), £0.65 (Only played games)
The value figures are waaaaaaay off, because the vast majority of my library comes from sales and Fanatical key-bundles that cost peanuts, along with freebies that folks on GOL are kind enough to call out.
The most I've paid for a single game was £35.99 for Super Bomberman R 2, and even that was with Fanatical's pre-order discount as I don't feel that Konami set a fair base price for it (the RRP at launch was £44.99); My favourite series is the only one that I make that exception for (it's one of those series where they do a lot of engine re-use and you generally know what you're going to get and how the compatibility will be), otherwise I don't pre-order and don't ever pay that high of a price.
It's interesting looking at these figures in this way, really - back on consoles, I'd generally've been considering £30 to £35 to be a discounted price, not the highest I'd go. Though the breakdown page suggests I pay £11 per game on average, the reality is more like £5 or £6, given the discounts involved.
