Just remember these companies made BILLIONS of dollars selling games at 60$, this isnt about keeping the lights on or having enough money to make the next game. This is about siphoning as much money from the consumer as possible

Yeah that’s how things work. If you have something people want to buy, you want to sell it for as much as people are willing to pay without pushing too many people away. If you are selling your house, you would take the highest offer even if you still come out ahead with a lower offer.

Yeah, when it's about foodstuffs or healthcare, there's a case to be made regarding price gouging. But when your complaint is "these video game companies are pricing games in a way they know the market will bear, how dare they?!?", I just roll my eyes.
