Is Game Dev Tycoon Really Worth 10$?

[EpicFun]

I've wanted this game for a little over a week after seeing gameplay of it. The game looks like something i'd enjoy, but is it really worth 10 dollars? I was actually suprised when I saw the price tag, as it looks like a 5 dollar game at most. Im sure I would enjoy it, but I neeed help deciding if its worth the purchase.

I have 24 hours played

24/10 = $2.4 per hour

It's decent, although it can be a difficult when making games. If you don't get things right your company can go bankrupt.

Ehhh, the only justification for a five dollar price tag would be age. If it looks like the sort of thing you'd like at all it's worth the $10.
'course, obviously, if it's not the sort of thing you like, even $0 is too much.

It's not particularly fancy, but it is very well put togeather, and quite fun.

Substantially, it's an abandoned project, not worth that money.
Also because, if you like this type of game, there is a far better (and still updated) alternative around: Mad Games Tycoon

That is incorrect math.
The real math is=
10:24=$0.42 per hour

But my opinion is...It's worth it!Get tired of something?MOD IT!

Yes the game is totally worth it.

A single playthrough will take a couple hours. I nominated this game for the "5 more minutes" award. Because when I got it, I sat down and wow I really enjoyed it, the gameplay is very strong with this one.

I've shown this game to a few other friends, because I feel it has enough unique appeal. (A raw "demo" value, a test play is likely to result in a sale)

I've also gifted a copy or two to family and family of friends.

i don't would say that. GameDev Tycoon has a great mod support and the steam workshop.
MadGamesTycoon has a lot of potential, but they're working on their new game. So it could take longer for updates etc.

27 hours total and I've played the game start to finish about 8 times. Is it worth the money?

hmm when going to a movie theater for entertainment, you'll spend more than $10 and only be there for 2 hours. So yes. I think its worth it.

That isn't how math works.

XD this is brilliant logic.

i own both game dev tycoons,my review consist of RAW game (i dont use mods)

game dev tycoon - i spent 35 hours with this one, i played it before MGT, it gives you more personal feeling, since the crew making the game is max 7 people.
mad games tycoon - i spent 57 hours and this game is (game dev on steroids)
more platforms, more events, more of everything, but instead of small crew , we try to make our corporation. and hiring 50 people is not that much, we have more "the sims" aspect here.

Somebody has already pointed out that I did it the wrong way around without thinking, but thank you for trying bud.
