That comment answers the question completely in my opinion.

Perception of value is relative, and consumers HAVE and DO compare different forms of entertainment in this manner.

Which, in a kind of strange oxymoron way, makes your second comment...

Based on satisfaction, compared to other similar games, one would have to say not even close.
... rather sterile.



In comparison to all other forms of enterntainment, unless a game is so diabolicaly bad it is unplayable, then it is automatically good value for money. Because the audience that likes the particular product, will get far more entertainment value from it than a differant kind of entertainment that has the same retail cost.

If the product is thrust upon an audience that doesnt like the product, they will say it is bad value for money, but in relaity, they themselves just dont like it.

A personal opinion of not liking something, doesnt mean something is not value for money.
