The point is, a good single-player game can be played over and over - sure, at some point it gets boring, but if the game is decent, you'll have spent weeks in front of your computer trying to figure out different paths etc and it will be more than worth your money. Baldur's Gate (I & II) are examples, as they provide a very detailed world you can explore with many characters. But that's not the real thing - there are countless of RPG-style games with different characters and worlds, but they are far from being as enjoyable as BG after you
ve finished them for the first time. The point with these games is just that they are realistic. Realistic in the gaming sense, but that's what makes them fun. In BG, Myst, LBA and so on you can really interact with the game. The latter to had pretty linear storylines and can be completed in far far less than 70 hours, but people love them and still play them. I don't know why that is, I just know that most $60 AAA games will be forgotten in a few months.
