Actually, there is a point.

Telltale's competition isn't limited to other video games. It is vying for your money along with every other thing one could be spending US$20 on. If you'd rather spend that $20 in your account on a night at the pub rather than on the game, then obviously you think that 5 beers is a better use of your spare funds than buying Bone.

There aren't many people who will be budgeting X dollars a week on videogames. But they will be budgeting X dollars a week on "entertainment".

Exactly - and what is there to judge it against - yep, everything else that Amount X of your money could be used for.
