Not so much defense, more like "uhh, yeah, things cost money, inflation exists, welcome to the real world", and I can't disagree honestly. People gotta use an inflation calculator on old games.
This meme does have real "too late, I drew you as the soy cuck and myself as the chad!" energy.
Games were 60 in the 2000s when a player base of 200,000 was incredibly high. A game selling a million now is considered anywhere from a "minor success" to "catastrophe".
It really is just greed. The consumer base is incredibly massive and definitely cam sustain a 60 price tag
