let's talk about value. because i like to do the math.

in the bundle, there are over 450 things. over 300 of these are games, and another about 100 are tabletop games. the other 50 are zines, comics, albums, assets.

i made a spreadsheet for our streamers that includes completion time for the streamable (not adult) games. of these, about 250, the average time is about 40 minutes. that's a lot -- it's nearly 170 hours worth. and that's ONLY the safe for work video games. about 60% of it all.

and some games are longer -- i capped my estimates at 120 minutes. and you're thinking, no, pure minutes isn't a good estimate of value. and you're right. but many of the short games in the bundle are exactly the right length. you could take an hour and play 2-4 games.

let's say you play ONLY the safe for work games, and ONLY the video games and not any TTRPGs or tools or anything else. if you like 1 in 3, that's still over 50 hours worth of games. it's only about $1 an hour for that entertainment. it's a bargain.

i know we have a lot of people for whom $60 is a lot to spend at once. if it hurts you, the $10+ bundle is absolutely for you! it's 100% the same, just a lower price. please, please don't trade your basics budget for games. maybe you pay $10, or $17, or $26. we'll take it.

but for people who do have $60, who are wavering. if you went to a bar with friends here in the u.s., you should be tipping about $1 a drink for regular drinks. what is that, a half hour, an hour? spend $1 each on 60 possible games you'll love that take that long.
