How much time would you actually have to spend playing an online game for it to be worth it financially?

I figure if I get a solid 10 hours of enjoyment out of a game I am happy with the purchase. That is usually the point that i get bored with any single game, if it holds me past that then it is an exceptional value in my mind.

IDK... after all this time.. I still can't seem to justify buying a game.. and then having to pay more to get the full enjoyment. :dunno:
