While this is generally true, in practice it is not true. The reason is that a great game won't last forever. If you are in one that is offering you (for example) 25BB/hr EV and you are normally a 1BB/hr winner, leaving after 12 hours will cost you 300 hours in future play - not 12. For non-degens, good games are the driver for marathon sessions.
