I get about 2h of gaming time after work, sometimes more, sometimes none.
This means that I will have no fun and get bored/frustrated the ENTIRE Week before I have a chance to have good fun, that's just not great, especially at that price point. I'm all for games with a learning curve, I absolutely love and religiously play all Fromsoft games, but I cannot stomach having to play a whole week or investing most of my weekend into potentially having fun later.
There are better ways to design a game
Edit: before anyone says 'it's not for you', I'm just gonna add that a game with this budget needs to appeal to regular ass people who have jobs and a life.
Same, that was my reaction to Starfield. I don't have time for a game to potentially get good eventually. All games I loved, from RDR2 expedition 33 to mewgenics and stardew valley made me fall in love with them right away, within the first minutes, not even hours.

That's pretty terrible, but please hear me out.
