I don't want that kind of pricing to be encouraging because if we're paying per hour of campaign then Civ would be $6K and even something like Kingdom Come Deliverance would be $400

I don't have that kind of money.

You can't compare open end games like Minecraft and Civ with a mainly story based game like GTA.
What you do after the campaign is your issue.
I just say that it's understandable if you compare it to traditional media.

I will maybe buy it once it's on sale.
No way in hell will I buy it for full price lol.

And the price creep will come because you and me are a very quiet minority in comparison to the casual games that buy a nee console solely to play the newest GTA or CoD.

That's why I didn't pick Minecraft, Civ has a story mode and KCD is all about its story, just like GTA.

Didnt even know Civ had a story. Only played Civ6 and didnt really bother looking to hard as I just expected a turn based strategy game.
