Weird flex, but OK. Doing a bit of napkin math, Factorio has something like 210 hrs. avg. playtime, and Civ 6 is at 290 hrs.
I personally like the 1 hr/US$ playtime metric as a good value product. At full price, Frostpunk gets 0.8 on average. It does regularly go on 80% off sale, though, so if you buy it then, it scores a 4.0 which is really quite decent.
Still, it's by no means anywhere near contention to lead the pack.
I may have played Factorio for longer, but Factorio didn't make me feel emotions like Frostpunk did. Playtime isn't the only measure of a game's worth.
Go listen to Sentient a few more times while thinking about what you've done to those poor bugs and tell me again that Factorio doesn't make you feel anything.
