Games are quite expensive. Sure, buying a single game might not be, but when you consider everything that comes out in the year, even picking up a couple of games can cost you like $300.
So, to help save money, some internet genious decided to make the rule of only buying a game for how many hours it takes to beat, if it's a 20 hour game like Horizon Zero Dawn the price would be $20, a 40 hour game like Dark Souls 3 would be worth $40, and so on.
Personally, while I don't strictly follow the rule, I do tend to avoid buying games at full price if I know I'll get a max of like, 20 hours (The only exception I can think of is God of War, but I beat the game three times so it kind of evens out). Then there are games like Hollow Knight which offers like 30 hours at the very least for $15, and I'm much more inclined to buy games like that.
