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

No, that’s how price is determined, not worth.

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

Depends on the movie and depends on the game. Some games with lots of content are good (if they’re well made), others are filled with trash content that is a waste of time to go through. Same with movies, there are some fantastic 75 minute cinematic experiences, and there are some that drag on for 3+ hours and do not successfully utilize their resources into a good movie. And vice versa.

but if you compare those of similar quality, the fact stands that the game will give you more for your money

If it’s a good game, sure, but we’re talking averages here and the average game is not good, so needing to play even more tedious uninspired levels doesn’t add any value, it in fact just makes it a bigger waste of time.

I gather that gaming doesn’t seem to really entertain you for the most part.

I actually love gaming, and I wish more consumers would have higher standards to not enable the terrible practices of the industry.
