When was a game's price worth it to you? (lemm.ee)

Say a simple (hours enjoyed playing)/(price of game) equation. How many hours (you enjoyed) per $ do you think is reasonable/expected? Or is there other criteria for you?

I feel like I'm on the upper end here. But to be fair I also tend to play things that has a lot of replayability. So I usually reach 100+ hours on my favorites eventually.

Eager to hear how others reason about it.

Edit: Added the enjoyed part. I agree with the comments that frustrating hours shouldn't be included in the measure :)

Rimworld for sure. I paid full price for it on Ludeon's website and played it a lot. When it released on Steam I started playing it there and now it's my most played Steam game by far. Based on some quick and dirty math, it's cost me under $0.03 per hour of enjoyment.

Another big one is Against the Storm. I've only played a few hundred hours so far but that's been worth every penny I spent too. I bought it during the last Winter Sale on Steam and I've put in about 200 hours.

Same, about 0.02 USD per hour at this point, with DLC included. Would be even lower if I had bought the game earlier instead of pirating it for months.
