Not to be that guy, but paid games have dropped in price significantly over the years due to inflation and fairly "locked" prices at 60 dollars until very recently

The complaints about being unfinished, that's valid

It's not a great argument though.

Microtransactions are optional, sure, but more and more things are locked behind them and they're frequently low effort items for moderate pricing. And more & more games are making their money that way.

So overall we're seeing the same price tag, but there's less game in the game because it's just a vehicle to drive you to the real money store to get the things that would have been included in the full release 10-12 years ago.

On top of that, at least in the US, wages haven't risen to match inflation. So while a game costs less by comparison, people also have less money by comparison.

tl/dr: overall we have less money to pay the same price tag that comes with less of a game. And that's before you get into the giant buggy messes and unfinished systems that are happening more and more.

I remember my grandma spending 60 on my birthday for Mario 64 when it came out in '96, lmao.

Granted, a whole lot of that went into the physical cartridge itself, packaging, and shipping. Now it's all just the game itself since everything's digital. But still.

I remember when new games were $19.99. Then it seemed like every generation of console it increased $10. It seemed to stop around Xbox 360 at $49.99 for a while. Then $59.99 for a good long while. Now $69.99. Inflation hasn’t tripled the value of things in my lifetime (36yrs).

Right until you remember there isn't a physical item to produce most of the time anymore. That was what a lot of the cost went to. Without that cost publishers/developer shares went up.
