I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I kinda agree.
I paid $60 for games back when a bottle of coke in a vending machine was 25 cents. Now I regularly see sodas in vending machines at $1.50 but games are still $60? Don't get me wrong I'm grateful, but when you have a 0% price increase over a period of time where inflation increases by 150%+ everywhere else, it's hardly surprising the companies are looking for new ways to monetize.
The sheer volume they sell now compared to previously does way more than make up for inflation.
