    Gamers, especially older gamers, will know this is a BS metric.

      “We were going to charge $60 but then we added 40 hours of tailing side quests so now we’re charging $120” - Ubisoft.

      Hours of gameplay is a god awful metric and only a corporate dipshit could utter such a stupid fucking sentence.
