I find it odd that people think games can just cost $60 forever, this is what we paid in the 90s for games, like at some point they were bound to raise with inflation. Did people expect to still be paying $60 in 2045 too?
A lot of people here completely missing that the games market has grown massively in the last 20 years. A long with making everything digital as opposed to the physical copies we used to get, prices were expected to go down, not up.
Look at companies earnings instead of their pricing to understand the economy of it. Contrast with average consumer income. People now have considerably less expendable income than they did 20 years ago.

I don’t have a problem with a higher price, although 80 bucks is quite a bit. I have a problem with salaries not going up as well.
