Dwarf Fortress = $0 / infinite hours = $Double 0/hour Your chart assumes that entertainment is fungible though. 5 minutes on a roller coaster is probably better than 2 hours of Flubber. To make the chart accurate, you should have net value

The OP pointed out a number of good things about Amazon. I took you to imply that these reasons are sellouts, and ethical issues are on a different plane than commercial considerations. My take on this is that it's early in the conversation

Convenience is an ethical soundness, it just isn't usually taken that way. Shifting commerce to digital and personal, just-in-time shipping, and customer-centric are good. Ugly business practices, creepy data mining, and DRM are bad. If you
